Three people died and over 50 were injured in a stampede during Rath Yatra near Puri’s Gundicha Temple. Odisha CM Mohan Majhi removed top officials, ordered an inquiry, and called the negligence leading to the tragedy “unpardonable.”
Malviya pointed out while the original Jagannath temple in Puri, Odisha does not allow the entry of non-Hindus, the Mamata government was violating the sanctity of the temple by distributing prasad prepared by Muslims.
Earlier, an online complaint was filed by an RTI activist named Jayanta Das, in which he accused Ramakrishna Das Mahapatra of removing the wood without taking permission from the temple administration.
The Jagannath Mandir Trust invited the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this year's Jagannath Rath Yatra in Ahmedabad. Narendra Modi sent the Prasad as per his tradition.
The Supreme Court today allowed Rath Yatra procession to be carried out in Puri, Odisha, amid coronavirus scare. The state shall make necessary arrangements to ensure infection does not spread.
Now that there is a glimmer of hope of things turning around, do not allow any political party or government to take credit. Remember, one of them tried to sabotage and the other was hand-in-glove.
