Anti-drone system to be deployed for enhanced security at Puri Srimandir

In a major step towards enhancing security around Srimandir in Puri, an anti-drone system will soon be installed in and around the temple. 

The Odisha Police have adopted a strict stance to prevent unauthorised drones from flying over the temple premises.

As per sources, the system will be capable of neutralising high-frequency drone signals, rendering any drone within its range inoperative. This advanced anti-drone technology will cover Srimandir as well as its surrounding areas, ensuring high level of security.

The decision was taken during a crucial meeting chaired by Central Range DIG Dr. Satyajit Naik. The meeting, which included SPs from seven districts, focused on strengthening law and order within the central range, particularly during the upcoming festive period.

The Odisha Police have prepared a master plan to prevent crimes and maintain law and order during the festive season. The anti-drone system is a significant part of this comprehensive security strategy, and once operational, no drone will be able to fly over the temple. 

"Anti-drone equipment will be deployed to neutralise high-frequency drone signals. The government is conceptualising a no-flying zone in the area," said Central Range DIG Dr. Satyajit Naik.
