Bhubaneswar: Following repeated drone sightings over Shree Jagannath temple in Puri, , the state government is considering installing a watch tower to monitor and control drone movement.
Odisha Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan said that the watch tower would enable security personnel to keep a watchful eye from a height, tracking the origin of the drones. This move aims to bolster security and prevent future incidents.
Additionally, Harichandan addressed the recent viral photo of the temple’s sanctum sanctorum, stating that police are investigating the matter thoroughly. He emphasized that strict action will be taken against those responsible for leaking the photo.
To further strengthen security, the state government has initiated efforts to create a security cordon around the temple.
“We are planning to install a watchtower outside the temple to ascertain the origin of the drones. The security personnel can keep watch from the top height. We are also planning a security cordon outside the shrine, which will be implemented soon,” said Law Minister Prithviraj Harachandan.
Moreover, Harichandan noted that strict checking is being conducted through CCTV surveillance at all four temple entrances.
