Ban orders in Kodagu village over Temple entry dispute
Madikeri: Kodagu Sub-Divisional Magistrate and Madikeri Division Assistant Commissioner, Vinayak Narwade Karbhari, has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) in Kattemad village.
The restrictions, effective until Jan. 2, 2025, follow tensions over a dress code for temple entry at the Maha Mrithyunjaya Mahadeshwara Kshetra.
The order was issued upon the request of Superintendent of Police (SP) K. Ramarajan to ensure peace and maintain law and order after a dispute erupted during the temple’s anniversary celebrations.
The prohibitory order specifies that assemblies of more than five people for protests, processions, rallies or any provocative declarations are banned within a 5-km radius of the Sri Maha Mrithyunjaya Temple.
