Jains protest in Delhi, Mumbai against decision to turn sacred site into tourist spot

The Jain community protested in Delhi and Mumbai on Sunday against Jharkhand government's decision to turn their pilgrimage site Sammed Shikharji into a tourist spot. 

Located in Jharkhand's Parasnath Hills, Shikharji is considered to be one of the most sacred sites for Jains. 

The protest against Soren govt's decision has been simmering for a few weeks with the Union Environment Ministry even asking the state govt to consider on priority the suggestions received from the Jain community.
