Guruvayur Devaswom Board or Guruvayur Communist Board ?

GURUVAYUR: The Pratikaranavedi and the Guruvayur Devaswom Employees Association have urged the devaswom managing committee to revoke its decision to hike the rates for kalabham offering at Sree Krishna temple.

Pratikaranavedi convenor Venu Pazhoor alleged that the three-fold increase in the kalabham rates showed the inefficiency of the committee and has affected the ordinary devotees.

Devaswom Employees Association secretary C V Vijayan pointed out that the improper calculation of the production cost had resulted in the heavy increase of kalabham offering charges.

The association had earlier sought interference of the High Court in the issue and the court had issued directions to the devaswom regarding the production and distribution of kalabham, but the devaswom was yet to implement court directions, said Vijayan.

The association leaders also submitted a fresh memorandum in this regard to the managing committee recently, said Vijayan.
