Haridwar’s Mansa Devi Temple has introduced a pocketless dress code for priests and temple staff, according to reports from NDTV and News18 India. The temple trust chairman, Ravindra Puri, says the new requirement has been implemented and that priests and staff have complied with wearing clothing without pockets. The move follows a broader effort to address concerns about donation-related thefts, with News18 India also reporting that the temple has installed 65 CCTV cameras. Both outlets describe the policy as a measure to ensure that priests and staff do not carry items in their clothing pockets. The coverage also links the timing of the dress code change to recent incidents and investigations around theft allegations involving other religious sites, including Badrinath. The temple’s actions are presented as part of its internal measures to tighten security and prevent misconduct. The reports focus on the dress-code implementation and related security steps, including CCTV surveillance, with temple leadership stating that the pocketless attire is now being followed.
