Priests On Hunger Strike, Pleas To Dissolve Char Dham Devasthanam: Uttarakhand

In a plea to dissolve the Char Dham Devasthanam Management Board, Uttarakhand's priests are on a hunger strike for three consecutive days outside the Kedarnath Temple. Kedarnath Teerth Purohit Samaj said that protests will intensify if the state government's Devasthanam Board, "which is draining their rights", is not disbanded soon. Reportedly, the CM had promised to look into the matter after coming into power, but the board is expanding ever since.
