SaralnamaThe Devasthan Department in Rajasthan faces controversy over sweets distributed to 57 self-reliant temples. Priced at ₹718 per kg, the sweets were found to be adulterated. Priests complained about poor quality sweets worth ₹21,500 sent to each temple. Food samples were sent for testing. The department lacks staff to monitor the crores spent on temples. The contractor, Vipin Chahar, claims he's being defamed. Inspector Pushpendra Chaturvedi says action will be taken after lab results arrive in 10-12 days. To avoid such issues, temples can check food quality before accepting deliveries. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 07:20 IST; source: link)
