Malpractice alleged at Padmanabha Temple

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Thiruvananthapuram Citizens’ Protection Forum has filed a case with the Lokayukta alleging malpractice and nepotism in the administrative body of Sree Padmanabha Swamy Temple.Hordes of people are thronging the temple after the hidden treasures were unearthed from the vaults here; and yet, no action has been taken by the administration to ensure the convenience of the visitors. The increasing flow of visitors to the temple has made daily living problematic for the residents staying close to the temple premises. The administration is only interested in pocketing the share of revenue generated from the temple, alleged the petitioners.
