Shirdi, a major pilgrimage site in Maharashtra also known as the home of revered spiritual leader Sai Baba, will remain shut from 1st of May over CISF deployment at the Sai Baba temple, there is no fix date of it’s opening until the matter is resolved. The shutdown of the temple has been decided by the administration of the respective temple. There has been protest against the government decision of deploying CISF to maintain the security of the temple.
As per the reports of DNA, the temple authority claims that the CISF are not trained for the security of the temple rather they primarily guards industrial installations, metro stations, and airports.
This decision will harm the economy of the state because people from far off places visit this pilgrimage site and book the tickets a month before.
