In the year 2002, due to Trustee Sri C.Yenkaih’s health grounds, he was temporarily away from the activities of Sri Venkateswara Temple Development Mandram management committee for three years. At that time due to lack of supervision and control, the management was not able to provide the audited accounts on time, which caused the dissolution of the Management committee in the year 2006. As a trustee a suspension letter submitted to the Registrar and dissolved the committee. Immediately after dissolution of the committee, the custodian and Trustee Sri C.Yenkaiah initiated to form a new committee in the name of “Sri Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy Thiru Kovil”. The committee is an unregistered association and which functions as a Trust.
