Uttarkashi: Due to alleged salary issues, the priests at the famous Yamunotri Temple in Uttarkashi have covered donation boxes with clothes to avail benefit from the money donated.

In a video obtained by ANI, the donation boxes at the temple can be seen covered with a cloth."If we would have been receiving the salary or a percentage out of it (donation), then we will keep it open. We don`t even receive one per cent out of this, that`s why we have put a cloth on donation boxes," a priest said.
