Puri: The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Tuesday filed a complaint at Singhadwar police station in Odisha’s Puri town in connection with alleged presence of non-servitors on the chariots of the sibling deities during Rath Yatra.

According to sources, the SJTA has sought stringent action against the unauthorised presence of general public and non-servitors on the chariots of Lord Jagannath and His sibling during Rath Yatra.

Further, the name of the persons atop the Chariots may please be verified and intimated to us for necessary communication to their higher authority to take suitable disciplinary action.”
