Last week at the temple town of Ayodhya, a senior priest and 14 policemen associated with the ceremony tested positive for the virus, prompting many invited guests to cancel plans to attend. On Sunday, Kamla Rani Varun a minister in Uttar Pradesh, where Ayodhya is situated, succumbed to a two-week Covid-19 illness. The number of cases in Uttar Pradesh has been rising, partly because of a rush of workers who have migrated back from large industrial towns such as Mumbai and Bangalore and spread the virus in their home villages. Uttar Pradesh BJP State President Swatantra Dev Singh and state Water Resources Minister Mahendra Singh have also tested positive and are now in isolation.
