“Later laddus are moved to the counters and served to the devotees. It has complete transparency,” it added.

TTD further stated that due to a technical problem in the weighing machine, the weight of the laddu was minus 70 and due to a lack of understanding of the contract staff, the devotees were misled about the weight of the laddus.

“There is no difference in the size and weight of the laddoos as alleged by some devotees. We request people not to believe in such misleading information that is circulating on social media,” it concludes.
