-A few days after the Vigilance and Enforcement (V&E) officials conducted raids on Sri Durga Malleswaraswamy Varla Devasthanam, officials recommended the government to take action against 15 staff involved in misappropriation of funds. The temple management had been procuring provisions from Sai Manikanta Traders, Kiran Traders and Good Life for the last 10 years. “As per the temple bylaws, a trust with dedicated devotees should manage ‘Annadanam’, but the devasthanam management is organising it. If the donation is more than ?5,000, it is being used for ‘Annadanam’ and, if it is less, the temple management is including it in its expenditure against the rules. “We observed diversion and misuse of funds and provisions, about ?2 crore, in the temple per year.
