No ‘Puja’ For Motorists Without Helmet At Ghatagaon Tarini Temple

Keonjhar: On your next visit to Maa Tarini Temple at Ghatagaon in Keojhar district, remember to wear your helmet while riding a two-wheeler for the darshan.

A meeting between the temple trust committee president and district police has decided that priests will refuse ‘Puja’ to motorists, who come without helmets.

The novel initiative, which is part of the awareness drive on road safety, aims at bringing down fatality due to accidents on this stretch. In Keonjhar district, around 350 such deaths were reported last year. 

Members of the committee, police officers and local sarpanch attended the meeting.
