Odisha to Reform Jagannath Temple Land Policy and Act for Better Revenue and Administration

The Odisha government plans to reform the Uniform Land Settlement Policy of 2003 and amend the Shree Jagannath Temple Act of 1955. The reforms aim to increase revenue from the temple's vast landholdings, which have faced encroachments and lack of proper revenue collection. The changes also seek to grant land rights to poor servitors settled on temple lands and improve temple administration, including stricter rules for conduct and a ban on mobile phones and cameras within the premises.
