HR&CE not cooperating with audit of assets: Report

In its compliance audit report that was tabled in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Tuesday, the CAG said that a special audit was proposed to be conducted in May 2022 for the 2019-2022 period since there were frequent media reports about the loss of temple properties.

However, the HR&CE department objected to the audit stating that there was no jurisdiction for scrutiny of records pertaining to religious institutions, the report mentioned.

The issue was taken up with the principal secretary of the department and later with the chief secretary twice in 2022.

Voters in the nation's largest city, a microcosm of America's diversity, rejected Trump's exclusionary toolkit with visceral force. Mamdani turned the race into a personal battleground of identities, where heritage became both shield and sword. However, this very emphasis on leftist ideals could exacerbate national divisions. Mamdani's policies threaten to weaken the fight against illegal immigration and balloon expenditures on social measures, potentially straining the city's and the country's resources at a time when prudence is paramount.

Led by a 45-year-old doctor, a deep sense of empathy fills their eyes as they give away the prescribed remedies to the ones in need, taking no money in return. For them, healing the pain is important, but treating the cause, indispensable.
