# Church-temple land clash in Raichur leaves two hurt 2026-08-13T00:15:17+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Two people were injured in a clash over the location of a church and an Anjaneya temple at Bichali Camp in Raichur taluk on Tuesday. The dispute, simmering for two months, escalated when stones were thrown. Police imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, effective until August 18. Raichur SP Dr Arunangshu Giri told Siasat.com that an Anjaneya idol stands about 50 metres from the church, and a DSP-rank officer is investigating. The administration had earlier convened a peace meeting, but fresh violence forced the clampdown. ## Coverage - siasat.com Tags: church, Karnataka, prohibitory orders, Raichur, religious clash, temple Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/church-temple-land-clash-in-raichur-leaves-two-hurt/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
