Maharashtra temples may reopen after Diwali, says Thackeray

Amid the clamour for reopening of temples in Maharashtra during the Unlockdown phases, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday indicated that places of worship – closed since mid-March – would be opened up after Diwali.

“People have been asking questions when will temples reopen? Yes, places of worship shall be opened, but let Diwali get over. We shall prepare comprehensive SOPs for the purpose,” Thackeray said in an address to the state this afternoon.
