Bhubaneswar: Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Prem Chandra Chaudhary has said the decision on reopening of temples and other religious places will be taken soon.

While releasing Unlock- 6.0 guidelines on Saturday, the state government authorised the local administration to take the decision on reopening the religious institutions.

The decision will be taken keeping this in view, he added.
