Women's Organisation Petitions CM on Shani Temple Restrictions

After detention at Supa, the activists were allowed to return to Pune after giving an assurance to police that they would not attempt to climb on the sancturm sanctorum. Meanwhile, the Hindu Janjagruti Samiti urged the state government to remain alert to prevent incidents which seek to create a blot on religious traditions at places like Shani Shingnapur, said its state organiser Sunil Ghanvat. Referring to Tuesday's incident, Ghanvat said it was the concerted efforts of the HJS, Akhil Bharatiya Maratha Seva Sangh, Shri Shivpratishthan, Varakari Sect, Purohit Sangh, Chhava Sanghtana, Shani Shingnapur Yuwa Manch, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal, Sanatan Sanstha and others which foiled the BRB's plans to storm the temple premises.
