Municipal authorities restricted entry to the second most visited temple in Odisha after priests tested positive
The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation has restricted public entry into the 11th century Lingaraj Temple after four
sevayats (priests) tested positive for coronavirus.
“In view of detection of substantial number of COVID-19 positive cases among the sevayats of Lord Shree Lingaraj Temple and in larger public interest and with a view to contain the further spread of virus, the public entry to the Shree Lingaraj Temple is restricted inside the temple until further order,” said the Corporation here on Sunday.
