Tripura government likely to probe temple’s missing assets

The Tripura government is likely to probe “missing cash, precious ornaments and assets” deposited in the past 70 years by the devotees in the Mata Tripura Sundari Temple, an official said on Friday.
Former Tripura King Maharaja Dhanya Manikya (1463 to 1515) built the Tripura Sundari Temple, 60 km south of Agartala, in 1501.
 
 
A delegation of leaders of the opposition Congress led by Saumitra Biswas late on Thursday met Gomati District Magistrate (DM) Tarun Kanti Debnath and demanded a probe.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also voiced suspicions about the “too small available cash, assets and valuables” of the temple.
