Things happened after activists of several organisations like Bajrang Dal, Hindu Jagran Manch and Virsavarkar Manch entered the temple and offered their prayer on Saturday.
City Magistrate lalit Narayan Mishra said that Jaunsar Babar Parivartan Yatra leader Daulat Kunwar had agreed to enter the temple on Monday to offer prayer. Dehradun DM Ravinath Raman said that there is no dispute over entry of persons, including those from the Scheduled Caste, in the temple. “The situation in Gabela is peaceful. Some persons belonging to SC offered prayer in the temple on Saturday. None was prevented to enter the temple. Temple will be opened for all on Sunday,” he added.
