Thane Court Halts Demolition of Portuguese Church Ruins

Thane Court Halts Demolition of Portuguese Church Ruins

Imagine an old church that's been around since the Portuguese times.

The local government wants to fix up the area where the church ruins are.

The church is worried that the government will knock down the ruins.

The church went to court to make sure the government doesn't damage the ruins while they figure out who owns the land.

The court agreed with the church and told the government to stop any work on the ruins until the ownership is decided.

The government says they want to make the area look nice and build a playground, but the church wants to protect the ruins and the land where they pray.
