Bengaluru, Dec 30: The government is resorting to allow temples to function independently. This decision comes immediately after implementing the anti-religious conversion bill.

As per the long standing demand of Hindu community, the government is mulling to make the temples autonomous and release them from the clutches of government.

A statement in this regard was given by chief minister (CM) Basavaraj Bommai in the state BJP executive meeting that is being held at Hubballi. He said that a law to this effect will be brought before the presentation of the budget.

Bommai said, “It has come to our notice that development of temples is being affected by the regulation act on them. Many elders of Hindu community have questioned the control on temples by the government which is not there for prayer centres of other religions. Accordingly the government is mulling of making the temples autonomous.

The CM also said that the Anjanadri Hills will be developed at international level and PM Modi will inaugurate it.
