The controversy over the new regulations that became effective from early this week reached the apex court on Wednesday after Bhandaris, the traditional caretakers of the Pashupatinath Temple, protested the regulations. The regulations faced protests from the Bhandaris since it sets age requirements and remuneration details, something the traditional caretakers of the temple do not like. Their protest has affected regular worship in the temple.
Justice Mohan Prakash Sitoula issued the interim order after an initial hearing on the public interest litigation filed by Bharat Jangam, a resident of Baneshwar.
