The decision was taken after members of the State and District Dharmik Parishads opposed the diversion of funds from Hindu temples to other religious institutions. Considering these demands, the Department has barred deviation of funds from either the ‘tastik‘ amount or the annual grants.
Following protests by Hindu groups, Minister for Muzrai, Kota Srinivas Poojary, had directed that all such acts of financial support from the Department be halted with immediate effect.
