SABARIMALA: It seems that the thieves are not ready to spare even Sannidhanam. Steel plates and glasses were found to be missing from Devaswom Board Mess at Sabarimala Sannidhanam recently. Every day food is served here to about 5000 staff. Only Devaswom staff members are served food here.
It is suspected that some kleptomaniacs among the employees are behind the misdemeanour. Very clean and tasty Kerala, breakfast, lunch and dinner are served here, where 300 people sit together and take food at a time. 2000 people also take food parcels to their rooms.
A special officer, an Assistant special officer and 42 Devaswom employees look after the functioning of the mess. Besides this, there are also other 42 workers including cooks.
One of the reasons for missing of plates and glasses is that staff members coming here are in the habit of taking food and water in plates and glasses to their rooms.
