Property ownership dispute to be major poll issue in Srirangam

The simmering property ownership dispute between the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple administration and a section of residents in the temple town is likely to emerge as a key poll issue in the Srirangam Assembly constituency in the run up to the election.

The long-drawn out dispute has been a major concern for several residents in the urban segment of Srirangam constituency for several years now as the temple authorities have been claiming ownership rights over 329 acres around the temple as per an old Title Deed 1027.
