Uttar Pradesh CM criticizes long closure of Sambhal temple, amid concerns of political diversion.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized the 46-year closure of a historic Sambhal temple and the lack of justice for those affected by a 1978 massacre. The 400-year-old temple was recently reopened and is set for restoration. Critics argue that Adityanath is using the issue to divert attention from other problems like unemployment and inflation. Security measures, including police and CCTV cameras, have been put in place at the temple site.
