Allahabad HC gives green signal to Banke Bihari Temple corridor

The Allahabad High Court on Monday gave the green light to the Uttar Pradesh government’s plan to build a corridor for the famed Banke Bihari Temple in Mathura for the convenience of devotees.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Pritinker Diwaker and Justice Ashutosh Srivastava passed the order while hearing a PIL filed by Anand Sharma and another person from Mathura.

Earlier, the state government placed before the court the scheme regarding the corridor development that will involve the purchase of about five acres of land around the temple for facilitating darshan and puja by devotees.
