TTD Funds for Waste Collection - High Court Slams
In addition, the tirupati Municipality announced that Rs 50 crores was being spent in the town on garbage collection and management. The ttd then adopted a bill stating that the board is willing to invest Rs 100 crores in trash management in Tirupati. The HC criticized the law and ruled that ttd monies could not be misappropriated.
The HC was perplexed as to why and how the ttd could accept a bill of Rs 100 crores for anything unrelated to the Devasthanam. The court questioned the ttd board, asking, "How can you divert the money presented by the public at tirumala shrine to some municipal activity?" The court issued an interim order requesting that ttd not release the monies.
