Staff Reporter

KOCHI: : Tension mounted at the disputed St. George Church area at Kadamattom as its door was found open on Sunday morning.

As news spread, members of the Jacobite faction converged at the place. This was because the keys of the disputed church, which was closed seven years back, was in the hands of a priest belonging to the Orthodox faction. Muvattupuzha RDO M.I. Francis held talks with the members of both factions in the evening.

The door was found open at 10.30 a.m. by the police. The police team reached there thinking that members of the Jacobite faction would embark on a fast in the vicinity of the church. The fast had been called off on Saturday evening as the Cabinet sub-committee began talks with both the factions, to bring about an amicable settlement to the row.
