DINDIGUL: Following a dispute between two communities in Perumalkovilpatti village near Ambathurai, members of one community have deserted their houses and taken refuge in a temple.

There are 200 Vanniar Hindu families and 300 Christian families in the village and the temple of Kaliamman is situated in the heart of the village. Both communities have been at loggerheads regarding the celebration of the temple festival, for a long time.

Meanwhile, it was agreed that from the current year onwards, the temple festival would be celebrated without troubling the other community. But a dispute surfaced regarding the stationing of a chariot during the festival.

There had been similar disputes earlier and police had stopped the celebrations. But it was decided that this year, the temple festival should be celebrated, but due to another dispute, the move was abandoned.

District Collector R Vasuki convened a peace meeting on Saturday inviting representatives from both communities, but no agreement was reached.

Hence, the Collector proceeded to the village and held discussions. The authorities earmarked the spot for keeping the chariot and also the route for the procession.

Additional security was also assured. However, members of a community left their houses on Monday night and camped in the village temple.
