THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A five-member expert committee formed by the SC on Monday began proceedings to assess the value of the wealth in the cellars of the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple.
After a morning meeting which lasted more than an hour, the panel headed by National Museum Institute Vice Chancellor C V Ananda Bose made a preliminary examination of the temple vaults. Other members of the committee are National Museum Archeology Protection Department head M V Nair, temple executive officer V K Harikumar, Archeological Survey of India representative B V Raja and Reserve Bank of India representative Vikas Sharma.
Bose told reporters a detailed scientific plan would be put in place to estimate the value of the wealth in the vaults. The committee steered clear of any decision on the yet-to-be-opened 'B' vault. The panel will also submit a detailed report on how to protect the wealth.
The police continued to grapple with the mysterious fire in a handicraft shop located in the Fort area which also encloses the shrine. Experts from the electricity and forensic departments inspected the area on Monday.
