BHADRACHALAM: The State Government has decided to tighten security at the famous Sriramachandra Swamy Temple in view of the reports of ISI threat perception.
A meeting attended by senior police and temple officials at the Sub Collectorâs office on Saturday decided to enhance the existing security and proposed a set of security measures to be put in place on the temple premises.
The newly proposed security measures include: installation of secret cameras inside sanctum sanctorum, where the ornaments of the presiding deities would be stored. The cameras could be switched on after the temple is closed.
Electrified iron fencing could be set up around the temple and additional security forces would be deployed in addition to the existing CRPF guards.
The officials proposed to install four metal detectors at the four main entrance points leading to the temple. A burglar alarm would also be installed at the nearest police station which would be connected to the temple to enable the police to react swiftly in case of any attack.
Strong wooden doors would be installed at the staircases leading to the temple and keeping in view of the increasing rush, four parking slots would be allotted on the temple premises. The police also suggested installation of mobile barricades.
âWe have sent our proposals to the higher officials in the State Government,â revenue divisional officer Ch VV Badarinarayana said.
Devasthanam trust board chairman I Venkeswara Reddy, executive officer V Rama Krishnam Raju and DSP K Uday Bhaskar were present. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
