UP: Protests against proposed corridor around Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan intensify
Mathura: Priests, traders, and local residents on Tuesday intensified their stir against the construction of a proposed corridor around the Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan and burnt copies of the proposed designs of the project.
They also sent 108 letters written with blood to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urging them to shelve the project and save the heritage of Vrindavan.
Markets near the temple were closed in the second half of Tuesday for the third consecutive day as the protesters staged a dharna.
