Andhra Pradesh Considers Bringing Private Temples Under Endowment Control

Imagine if all the toy stores, even the ones run by families, had to follow the same safety rules as the big toy stores.

That's kind of what the government in Andhra Pradesh is thinking about for temples.

Right now, some temples are managed by private people, but after a sad accident where people got hurt at a temple, the government wants to make sure all temples, big or small, are managed safely.

They think if the government department in charge of temples helps run them, it will be easier to keep people safe, especially during big festivals.

This way, they can make sure there are enough helpers and police to prevent any accidents like the one that happened.

They also want to help private temple builders by giving them advice.
