Udupi: Three illegal shops that were running in the parking lot of Sri Krishna Math were demolished on the orders of Sri Laxmivarateertha Swamiji of Shiroor Math on Friday. Shiroor Swamiji himself came to the spot with a demolition team and got the shops razed to the ground.
A close associate of Sri Vishweshateertha Swamiji of Pejawar Math, used the parking lot to illegally set up three shops including a general store in the parking lot. The three shops were being managed by a person named Uday.
Shiroor Swamiji alleged that the person who set up the shops was also issuing fake parking receipts to unsuspecting visitors and also selling fake products. It is also said that the issue was not taken up during the just-concluded Paryaya term of Pejawar Swamiji as the latter did not wish such demolitions to happen during his tenure. Hence, a day after Palimar Swamiji ascended the Paryaya Peetha, Shiroor Swamiji wasted no time in taking action.
