Temples reopen in Bhopal after nearly 3 months

Places of worship reopened in Bhopal after almost three months amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The religious places, however, will remain closed in containment zones in the city to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Even outside the containment zones, the authorities of religious places will have to maintain all guidelines related to the pandemic.

Moreover, devotees won't be allowed to touch the idols and have to strictly maintain social distancing norms. "All government guidelines are being followed.

We have made mask compulsory for everyone at the temple," said an official of Birla Temple in Bhopal.
