Decent attempt, broadly you have covered the themes but certain improvements can be made.
In intro, other than the example mention the situation being one where personal beliefs of a civil servant may induce him/her to act in a partisan manner as well as keep him/her in contravention of their duty to uphold duly passed decisions. Plus you can mention the societal contradictions involved.
Also before moving to the parts identify the key stake holders involved- People who want to uphold the traditions; activists who want to ascertain their fundamental rights; people directly involved in the administration of the temple such as priests; women as a whole group; authorities responsible for execution of court order, primarily the government of the state and the common citizens in general.
Issues mentioned are fine- first point can be integrated with women safety. Others are fine.
Dilemmas are also okay. However, first mention that there is little choice before the officer but to uphold the order with full sincerity.
Steps to be taken can be a bit more elaborate. Making adequate arrangements including measures to handle emergency, informing district administration and briefing them about conflicts, calling a meeting with stakeholders, appeal to citizens/pilgrims etc all can be mentioned.
In conclusion you can write one line such as ‘taking the decisions objectively and handling the crowd with emotional intelligence will be the key to maintain an atmosphere free of violence’.
