Members of the Diocese of Ramanathapuram have petitioned the District Collector Archana Patnaik to ensure the safety of Christian minorities here on Monday.
In the petition stated to the district collector, Geroge Narikuzhi has said that the attack on priest Jos Kannumkuzhi recently by members of an outfit has shown that Christians in Coimbatore are being targeted.
“The number of attacks has been on the rise in the recent years and hence we request the district administration to take necessary actions to curb such incidents in the future,” he said.
