In the preliminary results of this survey, there is no indication that any secret tunnel or room is present in the gem store of Jagannath Temple of Puri. However, the minister further said that this will be confirmed only after the final report comes out.
Cracks in treasury
Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan has said that information has been received about some cracks in the temple treasury. No secret route has been found in the survey. Let us inform that the temple administration had requested for GPR survey amid speculations about secret chambers of valuables and jewelery in the treasury of Jagannath temple.
When will the repairs be done?
Minister Harichandan has said that it is not possible to repair the cracks in the treasury of Jagannath Temple. This is because the holy month of Kartik is going on right now. For this reason there is a huge crowd of devotees in the temple. Repairs may take more than a month. After Kartik month ASI can get the cracks repaired. (input language)
