Habisyalis in Puri
After coming to know about the problems of some habisyalis in Puri from several media reports, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Majhi intervened on Friday.
CM Majhi directed the concerned departmental officials, Srimandir Temple Administration and Puri Collector to make all kinds of necessary arrangements for the convenience of habisyalis.
“After coming to know about the plight of some habisyali mothers in various media, I have personally instructed the departmental officers, the administration of the Srimandir and the District Collector to take all kinds of measures,” wrote CM Majhi on social media account X (earlier known as Twitter).
“The government is committed to providing all kinds of facilities to the habisyali mothers who have come from outside districts to celebrate Havishya Brata at Sri Jagannath Dham in Puri. May Lord Jagannath fulfil all your vows. Jai Jagannath,” he added.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida also discussed with the habisyalis at Brundabati camp. She assured them that the State government is giving special attention so that they will not face any kind of problems.
“Rai Damodar Brata has started for the habisyalis in Puri this year like every year. Accommodation facilities have been made at four places for more than 3,000 habisyalis. Under the direct supervision of the Culture Department, administrative officials have made proper arrangements for it,” said Parida.
“The government has already directed the administrative officials to make necessary arrangements considering the huge rush of habisyalis. If any kind of mistake will be found, it will be solved immediately. Let their wishes be fulfilled with Lord Jagannath’s blessings. The government will feel blessed by serving the habisyali mothers,” she added.
Notably, scores of non-registered habisyalis had staged a protest in front of Brundabati Niwas in pilgrim town Puri on Thursday after they were allegedly denied entry into the premises of the building.
