Vaishno Devi Chief Priest condemns Orry 

The Chief Priest of the Vaishno Devi temple Padma Shri Prof. Vaishva Murti Shastri spoke to the Republic regarding the complete disregard of rules and violation of laws by Orry aka Orhan Awatramani. Speaking to Republic Media Network, Prof. Shastri said, “Vaishno Devi shrine is a pure place. To be under the influence of drugs or alcohol in such a place is prohibited. All officials of the shrine bride have sternly stated that no one is allowed to consume, carry or talk about alcoholic beverages around the shrine. Despite this, if people are carrying alcohol on the premises, then it is a matter of great concern.” He specified that warnings against the consumption of meat and alcoholic beverages were displayed across the shrine, yet it was ignored.

Questioning the lapses in the matter, Prof Shastri added, “The Shrine board does not give any ease in these matters, so it must be understood whose lapse has caused this nuisance. One must go inside the shrine with a clean, pure and devotional mind." He cited examples of temples in Southern India that follow a strict code of conduct and argued, “We should do that here as well. It is time to bring in strict norms for the thousands of devotees who visit the temple. Bringing alcohol near the temple premises destroys the sanctity of the shrine." He concluded by saying that such miscreants should not go unpunished.
