Kamakhya Temple In Assam Not Being Properly Maintained: SC

Kamakhaya temple

Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for the temple, submitted that this is a case where certain people wrote letters saying hygiene is not being taken care of.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the Kamakhya Temple in Assam is not being properly maintained, saying there cannot be any compromise on hygiene. A bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and C T Ravikumar was hearing a matter relating to the maintenance of the temple.

"I was there during the vacations, and the temple is not being properly maintained. This is my personal opinion. There can't be any compromise on hygiene," Justice Rastogi observed. Senior advocate Rajeev Dhavan, appearing for the temple, submitted that this is a case where certain people wrote letters saying hygiene is not being taken care of. 

He told the court that the temple has been taken care of by roping in expert bodies like the Indian Institute of Technology. The apex court deferred the matter for hearing in January 2023 to enable a possible amicable solution between the parties.
