JLM urges the government to retain management of Anubhava Mantapa

Jagatika Lingayat Mahasabha (JLM) has urged the State government to retain ownership and management control of the Anubhava Mantapa.

This comes two days after the JLM general body resolved to seek day-to-day management of the institution from the State government.

“The State government should retain control over the Anubhava Mantapa currently being constructed in Basavakalyan in Bidar district. It should not be handed over to any private organisation or mutt,” national general secretary of the JLM S.M. Jamadar told reporters in Belagavi on Wednesday. “The government should, however, consult stakeholder Lingayat organisations,” he said.

“The government should constitute a special committee comprising representatives of Lingayat mutts and Lingayat organisations to plan events, handle the day-to-day management and discharge specific responsibilities at the Anubhava Mantapa. Through this committee, mass lunches under the Dasoha programme and literary programmes should be conducted.
