In his letter, Singh stated, "Through social media and various information channels, it has come to light that Elvish Yadav took photographs inside the Kashi Vishwanath temple post-visit. This act is alarming for both the temple administration and the Varanasi district administration, given the strict prohibition on mobile phones and cameras within the temple grounds."
Concerns Raised
The complaint underscores significant concerns about the temple's security and the impact on devotees. Singh elaborated, "The recurrent use of cameras in restricted areas not only offends the sentiments of the faithful but also poses potential security risks. Thus, it is crucial to address this issue with due diligence and consider all aspects of the matter."
