Temples are also centers of economic activity and with the gradual lifting of COVID-19-related lockdown, they should be opened for public, said Tamil Nadu State BJP, President L. Murugan.

In a statement, Murugan said temples are centers of economic activity as flower/books/photographers/musicians and several others are dependent on place of worship.

Murugan said these people too were affected due to lockdown. Considering their economic welfare, temples should be reopened so that such people too can open their shops.
