Mangaluru, June 30: The Company is facing a financial crisis. The company which is in the process to borrow bank loans will begin works immediately after the loan is sanctioned, said a Navayuga company’s official.

The officer revealed this at a meeting held in the DC office with minister UT Khader, National Highway Authority, officers of the National Highway Department and the Public Works Department on Saturday.

“Thokkottu and Pumpwell flyover work are not finished yet. Already a tollgate has been created and started collecting the toll charges. Also, the public is facing trouble near the flyover. Though the problem is getting worse, they are not trying to find a solution. Whenever a meeting was called, you skipped it postponing dates repeatedly. Why so? What is the problem with you?” Minister Khader asked.

Speaking at the occasion, the Navayuga Company's officials said that the company is facing a financial crisis. Work would begin soon after the loan is sanctioned. Unsatisfied with his answer, Deputy Commissioner Sasikant Senthil said “tell it directly if you can not handle the contract. The National Highway Authority is also responsible for delaying the work. He also warned that if an accident occurs on the highway in the wake of the delay in work, a situation may come where the contractor might be charged with murder.

Ayodhya, Sep 27: The Food Safety and Drug Administration Department on Friday collected samples of 'elaichi daana' or cardamom seeds being distributed as 'prasad' at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple here and sent them for testing, officials said.

The action was taken following a complaint lodged through the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS), Assistant Food Commissioner Manik Chand Singh said.

Singh said the samples were procured from Haiderganj, where the cardamom seed offerings are prepared and sent to the Jhansi State Laboratory for comprehensive testing and evaluation.

Prakash Gupta, the officer in charge of the Ram Temple trust, revealed that on average, around 80,000 packets of cardamom seeds are distributed daily as a sacred offering.

Amid a row over the alleged presence of animal fat in laddus at the Tirupati Temple in Andhra Pradesh, the chief priest of the Ram temple here on Thursday questioned the purity of ghee being sold nationwide and said 'prasad' should be prepared under the supervision of temple priests only.
