Hindu groups on Tuesday welcomed a Tamil Nadu government directive that barred a bureaucrat from preaching Christianity in the state because such activities were likely to cause communal disharmony and disturb public order.

Chief secretary of Tamil Nadu K Gnanadesikan wrote to IAS officer C Umashankar last week and said his "preaching and propagating activities" scheduled between January 24 and 26 in Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanyakumari districts of the state was unbecoming of a member of the service.

He was also warned of appropriate action under the All India Services (conduct) Rules, and was chided for his action on January 16 in Kanyakumari that allegedly disturbed public order and resulted in two police cases.
