The BSBRT administrator told TOI: "I have already requested Patna DM to provide some names of efficient people for managing these temples of Patna to maintain total transparency." The Patan Devi temple, one of the notable places of worship among the Hindus in the capital, is in a bad shape, too. Only a few days back, the BSBRT reconstituted the temple committee by appointing Devta Prasad Singh Chaudhary as its chairman. This temple, associated with capital city, is the major attraction during "Navratra" festival.

The story of most of other temples in Patna is more or less the same. Barring a few temples, the trustees and secretaries of most of the temples are involved in financial irregularities.

The BSBRT has detected huge irregularities in most of the temples owned by mahants and trustees.

Talking to TOI here on Wednesday, Kunal said: "Barring a few, the authorities of most of the temples are minting money, which is a gross violation of the rules of the board. Some of them are yet to register their temples."
