BHUBANESWAR: Police are all set to launch a mobile-based
application that will help tourists navigate the crowded streets of Puri, look
for hotels and get updates on traffic situation during Nabakalebara.
"The App is almost ready and will be launched soon. Tourists will get live updates on the traffic situation during the festive rush. They can also lodge complaints on lost belongings. These will automatically be transferred to the control room in Puri," DGP Sanjeev Marik told TOI.
On Thursday, Marik inaugurated the official website of Puri police (www.puripolice.nic.in). In December last year, Puri police launched its Facebook page and started a toll-free number (18002002524) to receive grievances during Nabakalebara.
Marik, who was in Puri to oversee security arrangements, said over 10,000 personnel, almost double the manpower mobilized during annual Rath Yatra, are likely to be deployed for the mega festival. He was accompanied by seven other senior IPS officers,
More than 150 closed circuit television cameras will be installed in and around Jagannath Temple. At present, the shrine complex has 16 surveillance cameras."A total of 32 CCTV cameras will be installed inside the temple and the rest on the Grand Road, where the chariots will roll," said SP (Puri) Ashish Singh.
Police have also decided to install baggage scanners at the four entrance to the temple to check gunny bags, carrying vegetables, grocery items and wood into the shrine for preparing Mahaprasad.
Two quick rapid action teams have been formed to effectively combat crisis' situations (hostage or Maoist/terrorist strikes).
The 12th century Jagannath Temple is among the high-risk category temples in the country.
