The Shree Jaganath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Friday said that no such decision has yet been taken for online booking to enter the shrine.
SJTA Niti Administrator Jitendra Sahu said no such proposal has come for discussion; and the statement made by an SJTA member on Thursday is confusing and is his personal opinion.
Sahu said the SJTA is following the Covid guidelines; and it is the State
Government to take a decision on entry of devotees to the Shreemandir.
Following the SJTA member’s statement, a lot of people began searching the website for booking ticket to enter the temple but failed in their bid.
The Jaganath Temple has remained shut for devotees since March 20 due to the Covid pandemic.
