Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) Chief Administrator Pradipta Mohapatra on Friday said four out of the 10 servitors have submitted their replies to the notice served on them over the Brahma Paribartan fiasco during the Nabakalebar of Lord Jagannath and His siblings in 2015.
“Out of the 10 servitors who were served notice, four of them have submitted their replies. The managing committee has decided that the report would not be made public considering its sensitive nature,” Mohapatra said.
The SJTA had served notice to 11 persons based on the report submitted by the then Chief Administrator. After a review, the notice was issued by the temple administration sub-committee to 10 Daitapatis and a Maharana servitor for delaying rituals of the holy Trinity.
Krushna Chandra Maharana, chief Maharana (carpenter) of Debadalan chariot of Devi Subhadra who was in-charge of construction of new idols of the holy Trinity had blamed the Daitapati servitors for the fiasco and alleged that there were massive irregularities in ‘daru’ (wood logs) selection for the Nabakalebar.
Earlier, the SJTA had announced that the report on the Brahma Paribartan fiasco would not be made public even opposition parties had severely criticised the decision.
The BJP termed the move as “unconstitutional” and a “violation of basic human rights”.
