Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday extended greetings on the occasion of Jagannath Rath Yatra, which commenced from today.
“I extend my warm greetings to all, on the auspicious occasion of Rath Yatra. May Maha Prabhu Jagannath bless everyone with good heath, joy and prosperity. Jai Jagannath!” Shah tweeted.
The Supreme Court had allowed the Rath Yatra on Monday, modifying its June 18 order. Shah said that the entire nation is delighted by the decision of the Supreme Court to ensure that Rath Yatra goes on.
However, in its order on Monday, the court had put certain conditions for the Rath Yatra to go on. All entry points to Puri, including railway stations and bus stands, will be closed during the festival, the court ordered.
