File Complaint On SC Order By Jun 20, SJTA Tells Jagannath Temple Servitors

Puri: Acting on the directive of the Supreme Court, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Monday asked the servitors to file an affidavit before the Puri District Judge by June 20 if they had any complaints regarding the apex court order.

Briefing media persons after presiding over a meeting of the Chhatisha Nijog in the evening, SJTA chief administrator Pradip Kumar Jena said the temple servitors were officially informed about the details of the order of the Supreme Court. “If any servitor has any complaint about the order, he can file an affidavit before the Puri District Judge by June 20. Besides, the servitor also can redress his grievance before the apex court in person on July 5,” he added.

The meeting was attended by Puri District Judge Ambuj Mohan Das. Collector Arvind Agarwal and SP Sarthak Sarangi were also present.

In an order on June 8, a division bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justice Adarsh Goel and Justice Ashok Bhushan had asked the Puri District Judge to submit a report on the alleged issues of mismanagement of the Jagannath Temple and harassment of devotees by the servitors by June 30.
