Satheesan of Keralam refuted rumors on Wednesday (September 23, 2026) that his administration had disagreements with the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) regarding the preparations for the upcoming pilgrimage season. During a post-Cabinet press conference in Thiruvananthapuram, he firmly denied reports suggesting the government planned to replace the board. \"When preparations are in full swing for the pilgrimage season, will the government replace the board?\" he questioned. The State government pledged its full support to the TDB to ensure a complaint-free pilgrimage season. The police and Fire and Rescue Services received relevant instructions. As part of infrastructure improvements, the government had already allocated ₹600 crore for road renovations in the region. Satheesan had already convened a meeting with the TDB and planned a larger gathering in Pampa shortly.",
