Guidelines mandate uniform for cops on duty, so that they're easily identifiable to the public, especially while on crowd control.

Cops deployed in priests' attire at Kashi Vishwanath temple. Does police manual allow it?

Guidelines mandate uniform for cops on duty, so that they're easily identifiable to the public, especially while on crowd control.

The deployment of police officers dressed as priests at the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi has sparked controversy, for violating the 'police manual'.
Statutory provisions and guidelines make it mandatory for police personnel to wear uniform while on duty. Though there are exceptions to the rule, functions like crowd control require personnel to be in uniform so that they're easily identifiable to the public.
However, male and female policemen have been deployed in the temple in priests attire on the orders of Varanasi Police Commissioner Mohit Agarwal. While the male policemen are wearing dhoti-kurta, the female policemen are wearing salwar kurta.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav demanded Agarwal's suspension citing potential security risks.
Yadav in a post on X said, "According to which 'police manual' is it correct for policemen to be dressed as priests? Those who give such orders should be suspended. If tomorrow any 'thag' (fraudster) takes advantage of this and loots the innocent public, then what will the UP government and administration answer? Condemnable!".
Agarwal had earlier told reporters that people who come from far away places to have obeisance have regard for the priests and they often got hurt if they are pushed forward by the policemen.
"The duty in temple is different from other place as police have to manage different type of crowd here. The crowd here is not for creating law and order problem. The police is here to ensure easy darshan to people and help and guide them," Agarwal said.
"The devotees get hurt if being pushed by policemen, if same thing is done by priests they take it in a positive way. Following no touch policy, policemen are being deployed in priests attire," he added.

Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has slammed the deployment of cops in priest attire and asked to revoke the orders.&nbsp;

Hindus have been allowed to pray inside a sealed basement of the Gyanvapi mosque by a Varanasi court

The Varanasi district court on Wednesday granted the family of a late priest the right to worship Hindu deities in the Gyanvapi mosque cellar, Hindu side counsel Madan Mohan Yadav said.
The order was passed by judge A K Vishvesh who directed the district magistrate to make arrangements within seven days to facilitate puja there, Yadav said, adding the prayers will be facilitated by the Kashi Vishwanath Trust.
According to the petition, priest Somnath Vyas used to perform prayers there till 1993 when the cellar was closed by the authorities.
Shailendra Kumar Pathak, maternal grandson of Somnath Vyas, had sought the right to worship the deities there.
He said the barricades before the Nandi statue in front of the 'wazu khana' -- where where ablutions are performed before offering namaz -- in the mosque complex will be removed to make way for the petitioner to perform puja.
The Hindu side counsel said the puja of deities there was stopped during the rule of chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav.
The Muslim side has argued that the cellar is part of the mosque complex, and hence permission to perform puja there should not be granted.
The Varanasi district court had on July 21 last year directed the ASI to conduct a "detailed scientific survey" -- including excavations, wherever necessary -- to determine if the mosque located next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple was built on the remains of a temple.
According to the Hindu side, the report of the scientific survey suggests the mosque was built on the remains of a pre-existing temple.
