India, Aug. 14 -- The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday tabled legislation to create a state-controlled trust for Mathura's Banke Bihari temple, even as the Supreme Court has kept a similar ordinance in abeyance and appointed an interim committee to manage the shrine's daily administration. The Uttar Pradesh Shri Banke Bihari Ji Temple Trust Bill 2025, introduced during the ongoing monsoon session of the state assembly, looks to replace the controversial ordinance promulgated by the governor on May 26. The legislation is expected to be passed on Thursday.P11
