Sub-Inspector Allegedly Stops Pandas From Entering Vindhyachal Temple Premises on Navratri's First Day

A matter involving restrictions on the entry and movement of pandas in the premises of Vindhyachal temple in Mirzapur has come to light on the first day of Sharadiya Navratri. The issue has raised questions over the arrangements at the temple premises during the festival.

According to information received, when the pandas tried to enter and move through the temple premises, a sub-inspector posted on duty allegedly stopped them. It is being said that the officer present at the spot prevented the pandas from going inside and told them to meet the District Magistrate (DM) and the City Magistrate.

The reported restriction on the pandas’ entry has led to questions about why such a situation arose on the very first day of Navratri. Questions are also being raised over whether any official order was issued regarding their entry into the temple premises.

If an order was issued, the reason behind it remains unclear. At present, the administration’s official version on the matter is still awaited. The exact basis for stopping the pandas and the details of any instructions issued in this regard are yet to be made public.
