STF and military surveillance at Neeraviyadi temple pongal event intimidates devotees
25 July 2020
Special Task Force (STF) and police officers took photographs of everyone who came to the temple, including the priest, the temple administration and all devotees and intimidated them with their heavy presence at the pongal event held at the old Semmalai Neeraviyadi Pillaiyar temple in Mullaitivu, yesterday.
The temple, which is currently also controversially occupied by Buddhist monks and a Buddhist vihara, was patrolled by hundreds of police officers and STF officials who were stationed inside and around the temple premises during the pongal event.
