1. In which Indian state has the government mandated the registration of temples, mutts, and trusts?
The Bihar government has mandated the registration of all temples, mutts, and trusts within the state and has directed District Magistrates to ensure compliance. This move is aimed at ensuring that the details of the immovable assets of these religious bodies are submitted to the Bihar State Board of Religious Trusts (BSBRT) and properly documented. The initiative is significant as it targets unregistered religious properties across Bihar, aiming to bring them under the legal framework established by the Bihar Hindu Religious Trusts Act, of 1950.
