Ground Report | New Delhi: Anjaneyar Swamy temple Demolished; The DMK government has carried out the demolition of Sri Rama's Sri Narasimha Anjaneyar Swamy Temple in Chennai on the grounds of invasion. Treasury officials along with the police force headed by the Tambaram Assistant Commissioner visited the site and began to demolish the temple.

Around 20 people who protested and argued with the police yesterday were reportedly arrested and detained in a nearby community room.
