Puri: The Daitapati Nijog on Monday submitted a list of 150 sevayats to the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) with a proposal to allow them to perform the Pahandi (procession) of the Lords for the ensuing Snana Jatra scheduled on June 5.

Briefing mediapersons after a meeting of the Daitapati Nijog, president Rabindra Dasmahapatra said that a list of 150 sevayats has been submitted to the SJTA.
