The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) took this decision as cyclone Fani may land in Puri on May 3. A 5-ft long flag will be fixed on the Nilachakra till May 5.

The temple administration has also taken other precautionary measures for smooth service of Lord Jagannath during the possible natural disaster.
