Karnataka Committee Proposes Priest Training, Crowd Control Force
Imagine temples are like schools for the gods.
The government wants to make sure everyone who works at the temple, like the priests, knows exactly what to do.
They want to teach them how to say the special words correctly and how to be nice to everyone.
They are also creating a special team to help manage big events at the temples when many people come to visit.
This team will help with the crowds and make sure everyone stays safe.
Karnataka Administrative Reforms Commission (KARC) proposed formal training for temple priests.
The training aims to equip priests with necessary skills for temple activities.
The proposal includes a five-point training program covering refresher courses and practical training.
KARC suggested a temple task force for crowd management during festivals.
The task force will be responsible for crowd control and ensuring devotee safety.
