Latest Update: Shirdi Saibaba Temple will be open for darshan on May 1 – Shirdi Locals.
If you’re a Sai devotee planning to visit Shirdi from May 1 to celebrate Labour Day and Maharashtra Day, you’ll have to change your plans. An indefinite shutdown has been called in Shirdi from May 1. This shutdown is due to the recent decision to provide CISF security at Shirdi’s Sai Temple, which has caused an uproar among the locals.
CISF Security at Shirdi’s Sai Temple
Currently, the Sansthan’s own security guards and Maharashtra Police security guards are stationed at the Sai Temple in Shirdi. However, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) security will now also be stationed there. This move has been made to ensure better security for the devotees and visitors at the temple.
Indefinite Strike Against CISF Security
The locals, however, are not happy with this decision. They believe that if CISF security is introduced, they may suffer. This has resulted in an indefinite strike being called by the locals along with all parties. During the strike, the Sai temple, darshan arrangement, accommodation arrangement of Sai Sansthan, and food arrangements will continue. However, since Shirdi is closed, devotees may be deprived of other facilities including transport.

Meeting Held by Locals
On Wednesday, the locals held a meeting with all the parties to discuss this issue. As a result of the meeting, an indefinite strike has been called. The locals fear that the CISF security will disrupt their daily life and cause them problems. They believe that the introduction of CISF security will take away their jobs and create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty in the village.
Conclusion
As a Sai devotee, it is important to be aware of the current situation in Shirdi. If you had planned to visit Shirdi from May 1, you will have to change your plans due to the indefinite shutdown. It is important to respect the decision made by the locals and to ensure that we do not cause any inconvenience or trouble during this time.
