Odisha: SJTA suspends Daita servitor Ramakrushna

Puri, May 11 (UNI) Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) Chief Administrator Arvind Padhee on Sunday suspended Ramakrushna Dasmahapatra, a Daita servitor of the temple, for thirty days over his controversial involvement with the Jagannath temple in Digha.
According to the official order, Ramakrushna is barred from performing any religious services or entering the temple during the suspension period. The suspension was imposed due to actions deemed damaging to the image of Sri Mandir, as stated by the SJTA Chief in a press release.
The order further stipulates that Ramakrushna must not attempt to intimidate members of his Nijog or others involved in the incident, nor interfere with the rituals of the temple. Any violation of these terms will result in an extended suspension and stricter disciplinary actions.
