Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court had allowed the ‘Rath Yatra’ to be conducted in Odisha’s Puri amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, but with certain restrictions.
The apex court allowed the Odisha government and Jagannath Temple trust to decide on conducting the annual ‘rath yatra’.
It ordered that the Puri Rath Yatra will be held with the coordination of temple committee, state and Central government without compromising on the health issue.
However, Chief Justice SA Bobde during the hearing, made it clear that the Supreme Court is only considering conducting the yatra in Puri and not anywhere else in Odisha.
