Brahmavar: The district-in-charge minister Kota Srinivas Poojary on Tuesday said that necessary action will be taken to open temples in a phased manner.

Speaking to the reporters, Kota said, ” There is a demand to open temples for the devotees to conduct their pending pujas and rituals. But we need to open the temples in a phased manner to avoid overcrowding. We will chalk out a plan to implement relaxations in a phased manner after July 6.”

“Also, compensations are being given to temple priests and workers. We will also allow devotees to conduct Kola and Nagaaradhane rituals after the opening of temples,” he added.
