This is an application filed by the Travancore Devaswom Board, supported by an affidavit filed by the Secretary. The prayer is to approve Annexure - B estimate and permit the Travancore Devaswom to undertake the work of erection of stainless steel urinals by the side of Chandranandan Road at Sabarimala. This is considered absolutely necessary for providing better facilities to lakhs of pilgrims coming to Sabarimala. The decision was taken by the Board and when the matter came up for consideration we asked the Standing Counsel to get opinion from the Chief Commissioner now in Office in the place of the Board. Accordingly he has submitted that the approval as sought for may be granted as it is in the larger interest of the public that such urinals should be constructed. In the above circumstances and in view of the fact that funds are already allotted for the master plan and these urinals are going to be constructed as part of the master plan, sanction is accorded. It is for the DBA 83/2009 :2: High Power Committee to consider the exact location where these urinals are to be placed. Procedure regarding inviting tenders and estimate preparation etc. are matters for the Local Fund Audit to verify as usual. Subject to the above, the D.B.A. is closed. P.R. RAMAN, JUDGE. P.
