In order to alleviate the plight of devotees who wait on queues for hours in the open to have darshan of Lord Jagannath, the Sri Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) had installed an air conditioned tunnel near the Singhadwara. However, the AC tunnel has created a new trouble for Jagannath Temple Administration as the AC hangars have reportedly been billed at Rs 14,17,630 rupees. The AC shed of 84 metres long and 12 metres wide was dedicated to the devotees just three months back. It is equipped with air conditioning facility as well as fans and lights. However, the electricity bills for January and February have raised concerns. The servitors and devotees have expressed concerns over the payment of the electricity bill. They feared if this is the electricity bill in two months, it is likely to cross crores of rupees in a year. The servitors have appealed to waive off the bill. Meanwhile, the managing committee members requested the temple administration to attach the AC barricades with a solar energy system.
