Section 144 again issued in Thakurgaon temple

Thakurgaon representative: Section 144 was again issued at Sri Sri Rashik Roy Jiu Mandir in the Auliapur area of ​​Thakurgaon Sadar Upazila. Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Belayet Hassan gave this order last Wednesday. According to the administration and local sources, there has been a dispute between the Sanatan and ISKCON followers of Hinduism over the possession of the land of Sri Sri Rashik Rai Jiu Temple in Auliapur Union of Thakurgaon Sadar Upazila. On September 18, 2009, there was a significant clash between followers of the Sanatan religion over Durga Puja at the Rashik Rai Jiu Temple. At that time, a Sanatan Dharma follower named Phulbabu was killed in an attack by ISKCON devotees.

After that, to bring the situation under control, the upazila administration sealed the temple and took the responsibility of conducting the activities. In this situation, tension arose when both sides prepared for the Sri Sri Shiv Ratri Vrat Pooja at the temple next Saturday. As a result, the administration ordered the issuance of Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code from 6 am on Saturday to noon on Sunday. Sadar Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md. Belayet Hossain said there had been a long dispute between the local Sanatan and ISKCON religions over the temple's land for a long time. Several cases were filed in court following the casualty incident here in 2009. This year, Section 144 was again issued due to the fear of the recurrence of the same incident and the deterioration of law and order.
