TN CM warns elements disturbing communal harmony

Chennai, Sep 26 (UNI) The Tamil Nadu Government today warned of stringent action against those disturbing communal harmony in the state by indulging in attacks on place of worship.

In a statement here, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi said after the attacks on place of worship in Orissa and Karnataka, there were some instances of attacks and stone pelting on place of worship.
