Cuttack: After a gap of almost 10 months due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Maa Cuttack Chandi temple in the city reopened for devotees on Friday.
As per the reopening protocols, only 20 devotees will be issued tokens to enter the temple at a time.
Also, police personnel have been deployed around the temple to ensure that COVID-19 guidelines are followed.
However, this didn’t deter a huge crowd from waiting outside the shrine since early morning to get darshan.
