#Shirdi Sai Temple is going to shut down for indefinite time starting from May 1.

Here's why?

#Maharashtra #Sai

The shutdown has been called by the Sai Baba Temple’s trust as a protest against the Indian Central government’s decision to deploy the Central Industrial Security Force (#CISF) for the security of the shrine.

Until now, the state police have been responsible for the security of the #shrine.

The Shirdi Sai Sansthan Trust claims that the CISF is not trained to handle the unique security challenges posed by a religious shrine. As per the Free Press Journal, the administration’s decision for a “bandh,” or the infinite shutdown, has the support of the local community.
