Puri: Tight security has been put in place in Puri for the Snana Yatra of the deities of the Jagannath temple scheduled to be performed on Friday.
Briefing the media here on Thursday, DIG, Central Range, Ashish Singh said 38 platoons of police will be deployed to maintain the law and order during the festival.
Besides, two commandants, six ASPs, 16 DSPs and 44 Inspectors will be deployed in the Pilgrim Town. The policemen will remain on duty for 24 hours in four shifts, said the DIG.
“Since the district administration has invoked Section 144 to avoid large congregation of people during the festival, we will ensure strict implementation of the order,” Singh added.
He also said that in order to ensure smooth conduct of the festival, CCTV cameras have been put up at several places on the Bada Danda (Grand Road) and other areas of the town to monitor the movement of the people. “Apart from this, arrangements have been made for videography of the entire proceedings in 20 cameras,” Singh said.
