The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) board of trustees which met on Monday decided to release a white paper on the Srivani trust funds, and initiate stern action against those levelling allegations regarding its spending. The board will also take legal recourse if required, it is learnt.
Briefing reporters on the deliberations of the day-long meeting, TTD Chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy said that the trust was floated in 2019 with the noble intention of constructing temples of Lord Venkateswara across the country as part of the TTD’s efforts in promoting Sanatana Dharma.
So far, TTD has constructed 2,445 temples particularly in SC, ST and fishermen colonies with the funds received from the trust in both the Telugu States, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karnataka and extended financial grants to smaller temples in the conduct of daily rituals, besides aiding in the renovation of ancient temples.
