This is an application to accord sanction for effecting improvements to the stadium parking ground in Erumeli Devaswom on an estimated cost of Rs.25,75,000/-. Previous year, D.B.A. 109/2008 was filed and based on TDB. Report No. 98, the Board was directed to submit a revised estimate reducing the rate, if so advised. Therefore, the Devaswom has moved this application; but not sufficiently early so as to complete the work before the season started. It is only in the last moment that such an application is filed. We are sure that even if sanction is accorded, the entire work will not be completed and that will create further difficulties to the pilgrims. 2. In the circumstances, the basic necessities for providing urinals and lighting arrangements as also the essential repairs in the ground could be made based on a revised estimate; at the same time to be completed to the extent possible before the season starts. D.B.A. 137/2009 2 3. This DBA is closed subject to the right of the Devaswom to move afresh after the season, however, after preparing the estimate for the minimum work to be undertaken during the present pilgrim season. The D.B.A. is closed. P.R. RAMAN, (JUDGE) P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, (JUDGE) KNC/-
