The board, however, was removed following protests by the people of the Dalit community.
The board — that was first noticed on Wednesday at Shri Narvdeshwar Mahadev Temple — mentioned that “Harijans are prohibited from coming to the temple”.
Later, a large number of people came out on the streets, and also blocked the road.
The board was eventually removed after the authorities intervened in the matter.
The police have registered a case under the SC ST Act including assault against the person who put up the banner.
