Despite the Meghalaya High Court’s order giving time to all parties to come up with a solution to the dispute over religious rituals at Mawjymbuiñ Cave, locals found that the gate to the cave was broken and Hindu rituals performed inside the cave.
This was also evident since lit diyas were found along with some money offering.
According to the residents of Mawsynram, the incident happened this morning at around 6:15.
It may be noted that the Meghalaya High Court recently gave the Dorbar Shnong Mawsynram time till August 14 to come up with a solution with regard to the request for the No Objection Certificate (NOC) by Yatra Society for conducting the annual pilgrimage to Mawjymbuin Cave.
The Dorbar Shnong Mawsynram had refused to issue NOC to Yatra Society stating that no religious rituals would be allowed at the site since it is a tourist spot.
