Pathanamthitta : The Government plays a downgraded game, with the fund allowance for disaster management in observance to Mandala Makaravilakku season. The Government has allocated only the minimal amount possible.
Pathanamthitta district collector had requested for 20 lakhs but the Government allotted only 10 lakhs. On the other hand, initially the Government had allowed 12 lakhs and later hiked to 57 lakhs for the celebration of 82nd anniversary of Temple entry Proclamation.
