TN will use 2,000kg of jewellery offered to temples over the past 10 years to generate funds for welfare schemes, reports Shanmughasundaram J. Gems and precious stones would be removed from small jewels and gold would be taken to government refinery in Mumbai for being converted into bars. The gold bars will then be deposited with banks to generate interest, HR & CE minister P K Sekar Babu said on Saturday. Big jewels will be retained for adorning deities. Three panels, headed by retired HC judges, will supervise the exercise.
