Mathura, April 11: Advance online registration has been made mandatory for people visiting the famous Bankey Bihari temple in Vrindavan from April 13, and entry will be denied to those not following Covid-19 norms, an office-bearer of the temple said Sunday.

"The step has been taken in the interest of devotees considering the rapid increase in the number of coronavirus cases in the second wave," said Munish Sharma, the manager of the temple.

He said it was becoming extremely difficult for the temple management to ensure the implementation of COVID-19 norms owing to the heavy rush of devotees at the temple. The devotees may use an online link for prior registration, and no more than 2,000 visitors would be allowed inside the temple in a day, the temple official said. Centre Prohibits Exports of Injection Remdesivir and Remdesivir Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) till The COVID-19 Situation in The Country Improves.
