TDB denies role in alleged Sabarimala ghee irregularity, says no outside procurement this season

The Travancore Devaswom Board president denied any board involvement in ghee supply irregularities. He stated the board decided not to procure outside ghee for this year's pilgrimage. All previous ghee consignments were cleared after laboratory testing by the Food Safety Department. The board entrusted procurement to Milma and ensured laboratory testing before acceptance. Devotees' ghee will be sufficient for this season's temple requirements.
