As part of the preparatory measures for the Nabakalebar festival here next year, a team of State Intelligence officials led by IG, Intelligence Soumendra Priyadarshi reviewed the security arrangements in and around the Shree Jagannath Temple on Monday.
Priyadarshi, accompanied by his colleagues, inspected the security systems in the temple and watched the functioning of 21 CCTV cameras installed in the premises. He advised the concerned authorities to take steps to enhance the photo capturing potential of the cameras.
The team went around the four gates of the temple, the four sides of the temple wall, (Meghanada Pacheri), Ratha Khala, Ratha Chakada, Singhadwar and Shree Gundicha Temple. The IG said tight security arrangements would be put in place to keep a strict vigil on suspicious elements during Nabakalebar.
