Temple Used As Cylinders Store

Near my residence in Chikamugal Tole, there is a nice temple of Satya Narayana. The beauty of the temple attracts the visitors from the foreign land. It has been the practice since time unknown that the local people, after getting up in the morning, go to visit the temple in the neighbourhood every morning. But lately they have been unable to pray and worship at this particular temple. A big padlock hangs on the door. Neither the priest nor the caretaker of the temple has locked the temple. You will be surprised to know that the dealer of certain gas company has used the temple to store dozens of gas cylinders. The door of the temple opens when the man comes to store or take out the cylinders.

As a local resident, I am greatly frustrated with denied opportunity to perform my daily worships at the temple. Therefore, I request the concerned authorities to be prompt to take actions against the people who are using the temple for commercial interests rather than for spiritual purpose.
