In light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, security has been significantly heightened at the Jagannath Temple in Puri.
Over 150 police personnel have been deployed around the temple complex to ensure safety and maintain law and order.
Late-night operations were conducted across the city, with security forces blocking entry points and thoroughly inspecting key areas. Police teams also carried out surprise checks at hotels and lodges, verifying identification details of guests as part of precautionary measures.
Officials stated that the heightened alert is part of a broader security strategy across sensitive religious and public sites in India, aiming to prevent any potential threat amid rising geopolitical tensions.
