A physically challenged devotee of Lord Jagannath has filed a contempt petition on Tuesday in Orissa High Court slamming the Puri Shree Jagannath temple administration (SJTA) for not implementing the court order in making the 12th century holy shrine disabled-friendly.
The Orissa high court in March 2022 has ruled that a plea to make the Jagannath Temple in Puri disabled friendly involves “urgency” warranting a decision within a month. The court has issued directions to the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration to make the 12th century shrine accessible to differently-abled persons.
