Learned counsel appearing for TDB states that it is not necessary that a new post is created because a committee under the Board which went into the question of identifying excess hands, has identified the availability of one additional Santhi post in Karuvattakulangara under Mavelikkara Group and that the said post will be shifted to Thattarambalam Saraswathi Devi Temple. We direct that such action shall be taken and additional Santhi made available in Thattarambalam DBP.50/20 -: 2 :- Saraswathi Devi Temple within one month from now. DBP ordered accordingly.
