The senior officers present included Prateek Singh, Temple Security Administrator Hemant Kumar Padhi, along with other temple officials and servitors. The main agenda of the meeting was the identification of methods through which the security arrangement could be tightened further in the Shree Jagannath Temple with the help of new technology.
It was decided that baggage scanner machines would be installed at all four gates of the temple. The plan has been finalized, and the implementation is likely to take place soon. The police are being trained for efficient handling of these systems.
Moreover, discussions were conducted regarding the installation of an anti-drone system to secure the temple from aerial attacks. According to sources, provisions have been sanctioned for this system from the police department side.
In order to improve surveillance, it has also been proposed that high-tech CCTV cameras will be installed for monitoring the movements of pilgrims/visitors in and out of the temple complex. Steps to ensure proper fire safety measures have also been considered in order to avoid any accidents.
Prior to the discussion/meeting, Dr. Murmu conducted an inspection of the current security arrangement within the temple premises and all four gates. This meeting is a testament to the positive steps taken by the government towards ensuring safety and security in one of the holiest places of India.Jagannath Temple security upgrade
