Govt. fails to release Dasara funds for Kanaka Durga temple despite State-festival status

An Andhra Pradesh government order from 2015 designated the Dasara celebrations as a state festival, mandating that relevant departments allocate money for the event. Despite this, the government has not disbursed the promised funds to the Kanaka Durga temple, leaving temple officials to cover expenses incurred by various government agencies during the festivities in the region.
