Uttar Pradesh Assembly Passes Banke Bihari Temple Trust Bill
The government in Uttar Pradesh has passed a new law to manage the Banke Bihari Temple.
This law creates a group of people, a 'trust', to run the temple and make sure things are safe and organized, especially after a past event where people were hurt due to overcrowding.
This new group will include people chosen by the government.
Some political parties did not agree with how the law was passed and walked out.
The main goal is to improve the temple and make sure visitors can enjoy their experience.
The Uttar Pradesh Assembly passed the Shri Banke Bihari Temple Trust Bill, 2025 and three other bills.
The bill establishes an 18-member board of trustees appointed by the state government to manage the temple.
SP members protested and walked out of the House due to the bill's passage.
The bill aims to improve crowd management and amenities at the Banke Bihari Temple.
The passing of the bill followed an ordinance issued on May 26, due to the state legislature not being in session.
