Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 4: Chief minister Oomen Chandy convened a meeting with Devaswom minister V P Sivakumar and police officials to take stock of the situation unfolding at Lord Anantha Padmanabha Temple here on Monday July 4.
As the Kerala police is not equipped to guard the immense treasure, the government will take the help of army and paramilitary forces, it is learnt.
The over Rs 1-lac crore treasure recovered from the secret chambers of Lord Padmanabha Temple will continue to be the property of the temple.
Announcing that the state government intends to let the temple keep the assets, chief minister Oomen Chandy said that the government will provide permanent security to guard the valuables after getting permission frm the Apex Court the royal family and the chief priest of the temple.
The treasure found included gold and diamond articles along with the gold idols and precious stones. Chandy, however, was tight-lipped about the worth of the articles.
Yes, with that kind of treasure at one place, it would be game for all types of criminals!
