In Mangaluru, the existing management committee of Kudroli Sri Gokarnanatha Kshetra has rejected the announcement made by the Akhila Bharatha Billava Union regarding new office-bearers for the 2026-27 term. Padmaraj R, a member of the current committee, stated that no court has issued any order related to the temple's management, labeling the announcement as invalid. He accused certain individuals of disseminating false information about the temple's governance. The current committee is dedicated to transforming the temple into a community-focused space under the Billava Union's guidance. While the Supreme Court has previously ruled in favor of the Billava Union regarding temple matters, it has not assigned them any administrative responsibilities, leaving the existing committee in charge of festivals and other temple activities.
