The government said it will make the necessary arrangements to conduct it accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>The Court, hence, issued the following directions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All entry points into the City of Puri, i.e., airports, railway stations, bus stands, etc., shall be closed during the period of Rath Yatra festival.<\/li>\n<li>State Government shall impose a curfew in the City of Puri on all the days and during all the time when Rath Yatra chariots are taken in procession. To start with, the curfew shall begin tonight at 8 P.M.<\/li>\n<li>Each Rath, i.e., Chariot, shall be pulled by not more than 500 persons. Each of those 500 persons shall be tested for the Coronavirus. They shall be permitted to pull the chariot only if they have been found negative. <strong>The number 500 shall include officials and police personnel<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>There shall be an interval of one hour between two chariots.<\/li>\n<li>Each of those who is engaged in pulling the chariot shall maintain social distancing before, during and after the Rath Yatra.<\/li>\n<li>Only such persons shall be associated with the rituals who have been found to have tested negative and shall maintain social distancing.<\/li>\n<li>The primary responsibility for conducting the Rath Yatra in accordance with the conditions and other norms shall be that of the Committee in-charge of Puri Jagannath Temple Administration. Each member of the Committee shall be responsible for due compliance with the conditions imposed by this Court and the general directions which govern ensuring of public health issued by the Union Government. In addition, the officers designated by the State Government for conduct of the Rath Yatra shall be responsible likewise.<\/li>\n<li>The rituals and the Rath Yatra shall be freely covered by the visual media.
