Anti-superstition body seeks revocation of Maharashtra govt decision to install astrological time devices in State HQ
India’s anti‑superstition watchdog has asked the state government to cancel its recent approval for placing ‘Kalayan’ astrological time‑keeping devices at the Maharashtra secretariat. The body argues the instruments promote superstition and conflict with constitutional secularism. It has filed a petition seeking the order’s revocation, urging authorities to uphold scientific temper in public offices and rational decision‑making.
