It is no secret that management of religious places in our country has dubious record of honesty and fair play. Sadly, people always think that private sector performs better but in the case of management of religious places, our experience is quite different. Almost all the government administered religious places in our country, be it Vaishno Devi or Tirupati Balaji, all of them are doing great service to the ordinary devotees. Whereas religious places under the administration of individuals have hardly been taking care of ordinary visitors. The government must look at administration of all religious places and make touch laws and ensure that the offerings at all religious places are utilized in an honest and fair manner. The comfort and safety of the devotees must be given supreme consideration and it should not be left at the mercy of local greedy priests or their henchmen.
