NURPUR, JULY 10

The SDM, Indora, and Assistant Commissioner, Ram Gopal Temple, Damtal, served notices on 10 stone crusher owners yesterday for depositing their rent to the temple management committee within one week.

They have taken temple land on lease for operating their stone crushers at Damtal and Mazra in Indora but have not paid rent for the several years.

Somil Gautam, temple Assistant Commissioner, told The Tribune today that the stone crusher owners owed Rs 53 lakh to the committee. He said the notices had been served on them earlier too but most of them had ignored these. If they failed to deposit their outstanding rent, the administration would disconnect the power supply to their stone crushers.

The management of the temple had been taken over by the state government in 1993. The temple has the property worth crores.
