Mathura (UP), Nov 2 (PTI) The high-powered panel constituted by the Supreme Court to look after the management of the Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan has formed a 12-member sub-committee to resume the construction of the proposed corridor to the shrine.

The sub-committee will be chaired by retired district judge Mukesh Mishra, a member of the high-powered panel constituted by the apex court.

Kumar told reporters that the committee constituted by the Supreme Court has initiated efforts to provide easy darshan and facilities to devotees, and now the work on the construction of the proposed corridor will be resumed.

The panel has formed a 12-member sub-committee to improve the necessary arrangements inside and outside the temple to facilitate easy and convenient darshan for devotees, he said.

This committee will soon begin the process of land acquisition for the proposed corridor, he added. PTI COR NAV NSD NSD
