The repair work of Jagmohan, the prayer hall facing the sanctum sanctorum of the Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri, would begin from the first week of February next.
A decision to this effect was taken by the technical core committee meeting presided over by Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) Chief Administrator Suresh Mohapatra here at the Circuit House.
Meanwhile, the technical core committee has approved the portal steel frame design of the Works Department.
“Steel plates having 12mm thickness would be purchased after which they will be fabricated. After fabrication is completed, ASI will remove stones from the floor from the first week of February. The steel beams will be installed after the foundation is concretised. All these works would be taken up by the Works Department. It has been planned to complete the repair before the Snan Purnima next year,” he added. The Works Secretary, the ASI Joint Director General and other members of the technical core committee were present.
