Bhadrakali Temple Development Sparks Controversy: Poor Families Face Eviction

• Historic Bhadrakali Temple in Warangal undergoes rapid restoration and development, including grand gopurams and expanded 'maada veedhulu'.
• Development plans involve demolishing shops and huts near the temple, affecting Dalit families living in Cherabanda Rajunagar for over 50 years.
• Residents claim land titles from 2003 and a Mission Bhagiratha water pipeline, asserting their long-standing presence and contributions to the area.
• Families allege water supply cut off to force eviction, despite promises of double-bedroom houses, and refuse to move, demanding homes where they currently reside.
• Former Warangal West MLA Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar intervened, approaching the Human Rights Commission, which deemed it a constitutional violation and promised action.
