Two warkaris from Nagpur electrocuted in Satara district
Kolhapur: Two warkaris from Nagpur died on Sunday afternoon due to electrocution at Barad village (Phaltan tehsil) in Satara district. The incident occurred as they were setting up tents for Sant Dnyaneshwar's Palkhi, which was scheduled to make an overnight stop in the village. Police said Tushar Rameshwar Bawankule (22), from Khalasana, Nagpur was attempting to set up a tent pole when it came into contact with an overhead live wire. Madhukarrao Tukaram Shende (55), from Medical Chowk, Nagpur, rushed to his aid, but he was also electrocuted. Both men were immediately taken by ambulance to Natepute in the neighbouring Solapur district where doctors declared them brought dead. Police are currently investigating the exact cause of electrocution. The bodies of the deceased have been sent back to Nagpur by ambulance for their final rites. Shende was a dedicated follower of Lord Vitthal of Pandharpur and an active participant in the annual Wari, consistently joining the group of Warkaris who travel to Alandi in Pune for Sant Dnyaneshwar's Palkhi. The incident has been registered at Natepute police station and will be transferred to Phaltan Rural police station. In a related development, Solapur district collector Kumar Ashirwad said local authorities in Pandharpur have surveyed dilapidated buildings within the temple town, identifying approximately 130 such structures, including some Mutts. "There are some dangerous and extremely dangerous buildings in the town in which we will not let a single Warkari stay during the period of Ashadi Ekadashi for safety. The owners of the rest of the dangerous buildings have been issued notices to vacate in a day or two. No one will be allowed to stay in the buildings till June 10. We have already issued the orders," Ashirwad said.

TTD Ex-Chairman's allegations completely false: TTD
Tirumala, June 20 (UNI) Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) on Friday rubbished allegations levelled by its former Chairman Bhumana Karunakara Reddy and condemned the mudslinging at the organisation without concrete evidence. The allegations that the temple priests are not properly treated or given respect are also "completely false. They always have the respect given to them. However, many reforms have been brought about inside the temple in recent times, TTD said in a release here on Friday evening. ''It is completely untrue to say that an attempt is being made to undermine the generations of Vedic recitation in the Srivari temple and to speak derisively of the Vedic reciters. At present, the duration of Vedic recitation in Srivari temple is not only increased but also fully stabilised now. From the past one year, TTD made it prominent that the divine chant, ''Om Namo Venkatesaya'' also be heard and echoed everywhere in Srivari Temple, outside, on both footpaths, Kalyana Katta, Srivari Seva, outside queue lines, Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba Annaprasadam Complex etc. TTD is also taking steps to increase the physical and mental strength of Vedic students in Vedic schools Inside the temple also TTD has started the process of collecting opinions from the devotees on darshan, tirtha prasadams and laid emphasis on transparency in the system. Devotees are also praising this innovative approach of TTD. The allegation regarding issuing notices to several mutts in Tirumala is also completely untrue, the TTD clarified and adding that everyone in the country is bound to Law. Following the court orders, notices were issued to Visakha Sharada Peetham and one or two other Mutts for encroaching more space than the land allocated by TTD to them, it also clarified. All the mutts are also appreciating the reforms brought by TTD in the last year. TTD has also given permission to several Mutts for repairs and modernization as per norms. It would be good to know the facts before speaking falsely that they are stopping the devotees by saying that they will provide Srivari darshan within a couple of hours with AI technology. From the past one year TTD has brought many reforms focussing on providing hassle free darshan to the multitude of devotees visiting Tirumala. TTD has been analyzing the situation from time to time like never before and perfectly following the time management in a scientific manner in maintaining the queues. An additional 22 food counters have also been set up for the devotees who are waiting in the queue lines outside serving Annaprasadams, milk, tea, coffee, buttermilk and snacks according to the timeline. With a systematic action plan, a comfortable darshan to record the number of devotees is being provided on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays like never before. To provide enhanced services to the pilgrims feedback from devotees is being received in three different modes. It is remarkable that more than 90 percent of the devotees have expressed their satisfaction with the services being provided by TTD such as Annaprasadam, accommodation, drinking water, laddu prasadams from the feedback collected through IVRS, WHATSAPP, and Srivari Sevaks. TTD is making all efforts to make darshan through Artificial Intelligence possible soon. In 2023 after a scandal in Parakamani came to light, an armoured system was put in place since last one year. A SoP in Parakamani to restore the lost trust in the system was prepared. As per the SoP, anyone entering Parakamani will have to undergo security checks and thorough scrutiny. UNI KNR SSP

HC nixes endowments' notice to bring Sanjay's temple under its control
Hyderabad: In a relief to Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar , the Telangana high court has set aside the notice seeking to bring under the purview of the endowments department the Maha Shakti temple in Chaitanyapuri in Karimnagar, which is built and administered by the minister's family. Justice EV Venugopal gave three months to authorities to consider the representation of the Union minister seeking exemption from the law mandating registration of temples under the Endowments Act. However, while deeming the notice premature, the court clarified that petitioner's (Sanjay) claim of the temple being a private institution was not substantiated solely by the absence of hundis or fees. The notice was issued by the assistant commissioner of endowments department in July 2016, asking Sanjay to apply for registration of the temple with the department under sub-section (1) of section 43 of the Telangana Endowments Act. Once such an application is made, the temple would come under the regulatory control of the endowments department. This was resisted by Sanjay who argued that the temple was constructed in 2010 with his own money (Rs 2 crore) and managed under the spiritual guidance of Sri Hampi Virupaksha Vidyaranya Bharathi Swamiji of Karnataka. The petitioner (Sanjay) was appointed as the Swamiji's agent and 'Dharmakartha' to oversee the temple's activities. The Act allows exemption to temples run by Mutts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investigadora argentina revela hallazgos sobre el magnesio Salud Esencial Leer más Undo Sanjay also contended that it was a private temple which has no income, no donation boxes (hundis), did not collect fees for religious services and all maintenance/festival expenses are borne by his family. He argued that such a setup did not warrant registration under the Endowments Act, especially when an application seeking exemption under Section 154 of the Act was already pending. Sanjay also pointed out the department's earlier exemptions to several temples such as Sri Balaji Temple, Chilkur village; Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple at Skandagiri, Secunderabad; Sri Jagdeesh Mandir, Lower Tank Bund, Hyderabad; and Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple, Tadbund etc. The endowments department, in its counter-affidavit, argued that Sanjay's temple was a public religious institution open to all devotees and therefore fell under the scope of the Act. They rejected the temple's private status and said mere absence of hundis or fees did not exempt it from registration. The officials pointed out that the temple's adoption by the Hampi Mutt was never ratified by the endowments department. They also said that beyond the initial notices no steps were taken by the department. Justice Venugopal noted that both parties had admitted to the existence of a pending exemption application. While observing that the department failed to assess the temple's income or initiate steps under Section 6 to determine eligibility for inclusion in the official list of charitable and religious institutions, it gave officials three months to consider the plea for exemption.
