The Uttarakhand Congress chief has called for a judicial inquiry into allegations of donation theft at the Badrinath Dham temple. The demand comes amid reports that donations collected at the shrine may have been misappropriated.

The Congress leader urged the state government to order a high-level probe to investigate the matter thoroughly. He emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in the management of temple funds.

The Badrinath temple, one of the holiest Hindu shrines, attracts millions of devotees annually who offer donations. The allegations have raised concerns about the handling of these funds by temple authorities.

The state government has not yet responded to the demand for a judicial inquiry. The Congress chief has also sought action against those responsible if the allegations are proven true.
