Though the complaint about the contractor who had the right to collect rice from the Sannidhanam was found to be not substantiated on the enquiry by the Vigilance Officer, a report has been made by the Vigilance suggesting that the collection and accounting of rice and its disposal to the contractor need to be more transparent. We are therefore in complete agreement with the views expressed by the learned Ombudsman that the report of the Vigilance Officer needs appropriate attention of the Board, so that needful directions could be issued. We direct the DBP No.110 of 2011 2 Secretary, Travancore Devaswom Board to place relevant materials for the consideration of the Board at the earliest. Ordered accordingly.
