Temple administration neglected in Amavasya Puja: Dharmarakshini Sabha
At the same time, Manoj Mishra, the preferred vice-president of the Panda Dharmarakshini Sabha, said that no one has the right to play with the traditions of the Baba temple. He has said that the way the temple administration has been negligent in Amavasya Puja, it is beyond tolerance. This had never happened. No attention is being paid to the temple. Temple administration should not test our patience. He said that due to non-arrangement of Amavasya Puja, at 11:05 pm, he tried to contact Sunil Kumar, assistant in-charge of Devipur CO cum temple, but he did not pick up the phone. Then called the SDO, then he also did not pick up the phone. After this information was also given on WhatsApp, but seriousness was not shown. There is no co-ordination with common priests, travelers and Panda Dharmarakshini Sabha. He urged the temple administrator to immediately remove the assistant in-charge of the temple for this mistake, so that there is no laxity in following the traditions in the future. He said that if the temple traditions continue to be tampered with, we will be forced to agitate against administrative interference. Soon a PIL will also be filed against this system.
