Government to take over famous Sai Baba shrine
More articles on this topic: Sathya Sai BabaThe famous Sai Baba shrine in Shirdi town of Maharashtra is being brought under the state government’s control following complaints of mismanagement.
The state government Tuesday sent the Shri Sai Baba Temple Trust (Shirdi) Bill to Governor Mohammed Faizal for ratification.
The bill, which was passed by both houses of the state legislature, seeks to bring the shrine under government control. It becomes an act after its publication in the government gazette following the governor’s assent.
Govindrao Adik, the minister for law and judiciary, said, “The temple money will not come to the state government. We have passed the bill because there are complaints that the shrine is not being managed well.”
“The new bill has a provision that will require the temple’s corpus to be deposited in a nationalised bank,” Adik added.
“The shrine’s committee will be answerable to the legislature.”
The Sai Baba shrine at Shirdi had an income of around Rs.600 million last year. It has an accumulated corpus of Rs.2 billion.
A similar attempt to take control of the shrine was made last year by the government but failed after the assembly did not pass the proposal.
The shrine, visited by millions every year, is currently an autonomous public trust controlled by the charity commissioner.
