PIL in Supreme Court Seeks National Temple Governance Committee
A Hindu organization is asking India's highest court to create a special group to manage all the temples in the country.
They say that temples are not being run well, with problems like misuse of money and poor upkeep.
They believe this is hurting the feelings of people who visit the temples.
They want this new group to make sure everything is run fairly, that the temples' traditions are protected, and that all visitors are treated well, no matter their income.
They point to past problems like accidents and mismanagement at some temples as reasons for this change.
The Akhil Bhartiya Mandir Parishad filed a PIL in the Supreme Court.
The PIL seeks an All-India Management Committee for temple governance.
It alleges mismanagement, financial issues, and poor upkeep of temples.
The PIL cites Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution.
The case is scheduled to be heard by a Supreme Court bench on September 8.
