After a row erupted in Puri out of the untimely Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath proposed on December 29 at Ghaziabad of UP, the Srimanda Naradiya Bhagabat Nikunj Trust, which had scheduled the event, has cancelled it.
Trust president Baba Balaram and secretary Baba Chaitanya, who had planned to organise Rath Yatra of the holy trinity on the day, stepped down from their move and begged public apology. They have also deleted an advertisement of the Rath Yatra from the social media which they had floated earlier for public information.
Reportedly, the Srimad Trust had floated an advertisement on social media to celebrate the Car Festival. Protests in Puri were witnessed as the date of celebration didn’t coincide with the auspicious day of the Rath Yatra in Puri every year. Local forum Jagannath Sena had lodged a complaint on Friday in the Town police station seeking action against president and secretary of the Ghaziabad trust.
