In a first, a Security Sub-Committee has been constituted whereas former bureaucrat Girish Chandra Murmu is assigned to head the tough task.
Murmu while chairing the first meeting of the Security Sub-Committee on Tuesday said, the enhanced security system will look after the physical lapses, observed by the security personnel and ensure fullproof security of the shrine with the help of digital surveillance system.
The newly devised roadmap will help address both physical and digital security concerns of the shrine, said Murmu while he was discussing with Puri District Administration and Police.
