Initiative to sensitise people to stop ill- treating SC/ST community.
As per G.O 577 issued by endowments department in September 2017, nearly 790 archakas and temple staff got hiked wages from December. However, implementation of the same for 4,800 temple staff working in 640 temples was yet to begin.
Hyderabad: The Temple Protection Movement is taking up ‘Munivahana Utsavam’ in Ranganatha Swamy Temple, Jiyaguda on April 16 to sensitise people to stop ill- treating persons belonging to SC/ST community.
Senior priest in Chilkur Balaji temple C.S. Rangarajan said that he will be carrying a devout SC person on his shoulders inside the temple in a procession. “The Constitution has provided protection to the downtrodden and even several legislations have been enacted, but despite all this SCs are still facing insults.
The Lord of Lords has ordained that we re-enact this Munivahana event to sensitize people,” he said. This utsavam is being supported by several Hindu and spiritual organisations.
