BHUBANESWAR: The justice Raghubir Das judicial commission would possibly run into a few hurdles when it begins the probe into disappearance of the keys of Jagannath temple’s inner Ratna Bhandar.
Many really feel that it's going to be difficult for the commission to retrieve information about the keys in 1985 when it used to be last opened to fetch some ornaments for Lord Balabhadra. Most of the key officials of the Puri district administration and Jagannath temple administration, assigned to appear after the Ratna Bhandar 33 years ago, are not more.
Nobody since 1985 knew the whereabouts of the keys till Wednesday when Puri district collector Aravind Agarwal claimed to have traced a sealed envelope, containing reproduction set of keys of inner Ratna Bhandar, from his place of work file room. As according to temple Act, the keys of the inner Ratna Bhandar should simplest be stored in the district treasury. District collector is the executive custodian of the treasury.
“We surprise how the commission will dig out information from the previous as almost the entire officials, who had been assigned to appear after the Ratna Bhandar in 1985, have died. A couple of of them may were alive, but they would be too outdated to recall the previous developments,” mentioned Prashant Panda, a servitor. The commission would possibly get some information from Rabindra Mishra, a retired reliable of the temple, who claimed to were a part of a crew that supervised opening of inner Ratna Bhandar in 1985.
Significantly, the commission is not going to get a lot information from the district administration because the collector Agarwal earlier instructed that no reliable file existed in regards to the presence of the keys in district treasury after 1970. Strangely, the stock of the Ratna Bhandar used to be last performed in 1978. Besides emergence of ‘reproduction’ keys of the inner Ratna Bhandar would pose every other problem before the commission to crack the thriller. “While nobody in the temple or administration had heard of the presence of reproduction keys, how will the commission gather information as to how the ones landed in the collector’s file room? I don’t assume the commission’s inquiry would succeed in any result,” asked Shyama Mohapatra, every other servitor.
As according to the notification issued by means of the home division, justice Raghubir Das commission will entire the inquiry inside 3 months. He will examine the series of events and instances resulting in the unavailability of the keys of inner chamber of the treasury. The commission will even examine the position, conduct and responsibility of people or authorities for the loss of the keys and suggest measures to avoid recurrence of such incident.
