Puri (Odisha):Amid the decreasing Covid cases in the country, the double dose Covid vaccination certificate is no longer required to enter the Shree Jagannath temple in Puri from Monday, officials said.
The decision was taken at a meeting of Chatisa Nijog of the temple in Puri by the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA).
SJTA Chief Administrator Krishan Kumar said that the visitors will no more be required to produce their double-dose vaccination certificate to enter the temple from February 21, 2022.
