The administration of Naguleswaram Temple had requested the Governor to declare the Keerimalai Naguleswaram as the Sacred Bhoomi and the temple Chief Priest had also asked what kind of issues related to the temples can be solved by the government. In order to follow up the request, the Governor visited the temple and had a discussion with the administration and relevant government officials.
