Security Overhaul Planned for Banke Bihari Temple’s Janmashtami Aarti

Following concerns raised during the previous year's ceremony, the committee chair Ashok Kumar has ordered a revised security protocol for the upcoming Janmashtami Mangala Aarti. While police presence inside the shrine will be reduced, a dedicated team of security guards will monitor entry points and conduct continuous surveillance. The new plan balances the need for protection with the desire to keep the worship space less congested, allowing devotees a more intimate experience of the night‑long darshan.
