![[Tirupati Laddu Row] "We Can't Direct a Separate State for Every Temple": SC Dismisses Petition for CBI Probe](https://i0.wp.com/lawchakra.in/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/PIL-filed-in-Supreme-Court-seeking-SIT-probe-into-Tirupati-laddu-controversy.png?resize=447%2C367&ssl=1)
The Supreme Court rejected a petition by activist K.A. Paul for a CBI investigation into alleged adulteration of Tirupati Laddu, citing the impracticality of creating separate states for religious matters. Previous claims of animal fat usage in the laddus caused political conflict, with ongoing investigations managed by a Special Investigation Team.
On Monday (25th March): The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has directed the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) and the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) to address the issue of pollution caused by ritual offerings in the Ganga and Yamuna rivers within four weeks. The tribunal emphasized the detrimental effects of waste from religious items and expects a comprehensive action plan from both authorities.
