The situation in which people could not be able to go to this temple to worship since occupying Sri Lanka Army has been occupying this temple for 15 years. Army soldiers in the Army Camp located at the vicinity of the temple premises cook non-vegetables and used to roam the temple premises, which damages the holiness of the temple, according to the devotees of this temple.
The current Army Commander of the Jaffna District donates cement and sand for the renovation of Hindu temples in Jaffna district. Therefore, we believe that he considers the welfare of the Hindu temples and he is the believer of the god.
Therefore, Temple Trust Board and devotees of the “Naachimaar temple” demanded the military commander to take prompt action to release the temple by transferring the army soldiers from this particular camp to elsewhere.
