The Odisha government has decided to conduct the Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath and his siblings in Puri without the presence of any devotees due to the ongoing second wave of the Coronavirus. Rath Yatra will be held on July 11 as per the guidelines issued by the Supreme Court last year, said Special Relief Commissioner Pradeep Jena on Thursday. Pulling of chariots will be performed by Sevayats in the presence of police personnel and any other officials permitted by the SJTA. All the people attending the yatra must be fully vaccinated or should possess RT-PCR negative reports from 48 hours before the event, said Pradeep Jena.
