The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has resolved to sanction ₹ 25 crore to the State Endowments Department for taking up renovation/restoration of about 90 identified temples spread in all the 13 districts of the state. The decision comes in the wake of a letter from the Endowments Commissioner (ROC.No. P1/COE/729/2018) dated 03.01.2019 in which a formal request was made to the TTD for sanctioning a financial aid of ₹ 28.5 crore for taking up renovation/restoration works to 90 identified temples in the State. It also categorically stated that the temples were of more than 100 years old. However the Annexure-I, enclosed by the officials read that the total cost of works worked out to ₹ 25 crore.
