Chandi Devi Temple Scam Busted: Big disclosure related to Haridwar's famous temple
Haridwar's famous Maa Chandi Devi temple is once again in the headlines. Big revelations have come to the fore in matters related to the income and management of the temple. After the appointment of a receiver by the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC), Rs 34 lakh has been deposited in the trust's account in just one month and 18 days (about a month and a quarter). This figure has raised serious questions on the entire management.
Why questions arose?
The temple trust was formed in the year 2009. Despite the annual income of crores for such a long time, no concrete work was done on the facilities of the devotees. Now that the receiver was appointed, an income of 34 lakhs came to light in just a month and a quarter. In such a situation, the big question arises that in which account was the huge income deposited from 2009 till now and where was it spent?
