The serious allegations against Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala have caused widespread concern across the country. Responding to these allegations, DCM DK Shivakumar stated that a conspiracy has been meticulously planned to tarnish the reputation of Dharmasthala’s administration. He expressed unwavering faith in the shrine and its traditions, saying, “I have complete trust in the Dharmadhikari and am aware of their principles and practices. The Home Minister will clarify the situation in this matter, and the government will explain why an SIT (Special Investigation Team) is being formed. This issue should not be politicized.”PALAY® Straw Hat Sun Hats for Women,Wide Brim Cap Beach Hat for Women Stylish UV Protection Cap,Summer Packable Travel Sun Visor Hat - UPF 50+
