[Breaking] After SC order allowing Rath Yatra in Puri, urgent pleas moved in Gujarat HC seeking stay on order halting Yatra in Ahmedabad

Three intervention applications have been moved in the Gujarat High Court seeking a stay on the Court's order passed last Saturday in which it had clarified that the Rath Yatra cannot be conducted in Ahmedabad this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This June 20 order was passed following a June 18 directive of the Supreme Court.

Earlier today, however, the Supreme Court left it to the state government and the temple committee to decide whether to hold the event at the Jagannath Puri Temple in Odisha.
