Construction work is going on in Baba Mahakal temple complex of Ujjain. During this, a video of Lord Mahakal’s courtyard is going viral on social media. A dead dog is being burnt in the temple premises. Now people are angry about this. Now action has also been ordered to be taken against the masons and laborers who set the dog on fire. During the ongoing development work of tunnel in Mahakal temple, great negligence of the contractor and employee has come to the fore. In this the dead dog was burnt in the tunnel itself. In the Mahakal temple, money is spent on cleaning staff through tenders worth lakhs of rupees. Even after this, the dog had died in the tunnel of the Mahakal temple for two days. Instead of removing him from there, the supervisor and the workers and masons working in the tunnel burnt him in the tunnel of the temple premises itself. The sanitation workers had to pick up the dead dog from the temple premises and bury it in a pit at another place. At the behest of the supervisor, the workers burnt the dead dog by sprinkling diesel-petrol on it. Even the contractor and administrative officials were not informed about it. Administrator said – I will take strict action against the culprits Temple Administrator Sandeep Soni says that action will be taken against whoever has done this act. This was not the case in my mind. It has been confirmed that the video is from the temple premises area only. In the case, Arvind Sharma, the contractor, has accused the masons and the laborers and confirmed their actions. He said that the dog was lying dead for a long time. Due to the stench, some laborers and masons burnt it. I have reprimanded them for burning the temple area. ,
