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

TDB president K Jayakumar denied board involvement in alleged ghee irregularities at Sabarimala temple.

TDB decided not to procure ghee from outside for this year's pilgrimage before controversy surfaced.

Devaswom Minister K Muraleedharan ordered an inquiry into alleged ghee procurement irregularities involving Milma.

All Milma ghee consignments last season were cleared after testing by Food Safety Department's laboratory at Sabarimala.

Jayakumar said the board was not responsible for Milma's contractor and no ghee remains from the previous supply.
