<h1>Committee orders full ban on stair access and Jagmohan darshan at Banke Bihari Temple over safety concerns</h1> A Supreme Court-appointed 12-member high-powered committee overseeing the Banke Bihari Temple has ordered a complete ban on devotees climbing stairs or offering darshan at the Jagmohan area, citing safety concerns and violation of local customs. The committee chair issued the directive after temple priests failed to comply with earlier instructions to stop allowing such access. From the specified date, visitors are barred from the upper left and right sides of the Jagmohan, and the passage to the Chandan Kothri is to be closed. The Executive Manager has been directed to ensure strict enforcement, given risks to public safety and the sanctity of worship.
