Probe Ordered Into Jirra Hanuman Temple Desecration

Telangana Endowments Minister Konda Surekha today ordered an immediate investigation into the alleged desecration of the Jirra Hanuman temple in Tappachabutra of the Old City of Hyderabad, where an unidentified miscreant reportedly threw meat on the sacred Shiva lingas.

Expressing deep concern, the minister directed the endowments department officials to conduct a comprehensive probe and submit a detailed report at the earliest.

Officials were promptly dispatched to the temple to assess the situation and gather the necessary details.

Surekha also instructed the relevant authorities to take strict action against those responsible and ensure that such incidents did not recur.

Reaffirming the government's commitment to protecting Hindu religious sentiments, she said that the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government would not tolerate any act that disrespected Hindu traditions and places of worship.
