Thiruvananthapuram: TDB president K Jayakumar on Friday denied any role of the board in the alleged irregularities in the supply of ghee to the Sabarimala temple during the 2025 pilgrimage season and said the Board had, even before the controversy surfaced, decided not to procure ghee from outside for this year's pilgrimage.
His remarks come days after Devaswom Minister K Muraleedharan ordered an inquiry by the Secretary (Devaswoms), in consultation with the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), into the alleged irregularities in the procurement and transportation of ghee supplied by state-run Milma for use at Sabarimala.
