Mysuru: Like other government schemes which require beneficiaries to link their Aadhaar card, forest department officials has instructed the devotees to carry their Aadhaar card in order to enter the temple premises.
Huliamma Temple, a small temple on the edge of Bandipur National Park gets regular visitors once in a week on Tuesdays and Fridays and on moonless days. However, now the devotees will have to carry their Aadhaar card to perform puja. They will also be accompanied and monitored by the forest department staff.
The forest department has put restrictions in place for visiting the temple following the death of a villager on September 1. Shivamadaiah of Chowdahalli village in Gundlupet taluk was going to a relative’s place in Hangala, across the forest, to hand over a pair of bullocks. He was walking back in the evening when he was attacked by a tiger near the Huliamma temple, informed sources.
Speaking on the issue Bandipur Tiger Reserve director T Balachandra said villagers who have to perform puja at the temple have to produce photocopies of their Aadhaar card.
We will accompany them to the temple. We will take the village elders along. The villagers will be supervised by the foresters,” he added.
