Puri: In view of the impending very severe cyclonic storm Yaas, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), as a precautionary measure, removed the scaffolding from Jagmohan and Kirtana Chakada of Jagannath Temple here on Tuesday.
According to sources, the 80-feet scaffolding was removes by 32 staffers in the presence of ASI superintendent Arun Mallick.
It may be recalled that some portions of the main temple were damaged after the scaffolding standing tall close to the main structure crumbled after being slammed by Fani with a wind speed of 200 to 240 kmph in May 2019.
A huge lion statue close to the temple also received minor damage as the scaffolding collapsed on it.
Meanwhile, the construction of the three chariots was stopped from the forenoon by the order of the temple administration in view of the cyclonic storm.
