      Amid ongoing protests by members of the Jain community, the Centre on January 5, 2023 stayed all tourism activities at the Parasnath Hill in Jharkhand where the Jain religious site 'Sammed Shikharji' is located.

      The Centre also directed the state government to immediately take all steps necessary to protect its sanctity.

      The development comes after Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav met with representatives of the Jain community who assured that the government is committed to maintain the sanctity of the religious site.

      Members of the community have been protesting against the state government's move to promote religious tourism at Parasnath Hill.
