Ministers inspect work on Datta Peetha

CHIKMAGALUR: Ministers V.S. Acharya, Shoba Karandlaje, K.S. Eshwarappa and S.N. Krishnaiah Shetty visited the Dattatreya Peetha at Bababudangiri on Tuesday to inspect the repair work on the roof of the shrine, which partially collapsed in heavy rain on June 29.

Dr. Acharya told presspersons that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa had directed them to visit the pilgrimage centre and submit a report. He declined to answer questions about the Government’s stand on the longstanding demands of the Sangh Parivar on the Datta Peetha.
