The Supreme Court has rejected all the pleas against the Odisha government's order on confining Rath Yatra to Puri due to the second wave of Covid-19. Even the Jagannath Temple in Puri has been ordered to hold a very restricted yatra. Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said the state government has evaluated the Covid situation and there is no question of interfering. The CJI said that people who want to worship can pray while sitting back at their home.
