A crucial meeting of the Shree Jagannath Temple Management Committee is set for today at 11:00 AM. Presided over by the Gajapati Maharaja, the session includes the Chief Administrator, District Collector, and SP to address vital administrative reforms.
The primary focus is the valuation of ornaments stored in the Ratna Bhandar. Following a proposal from the recent high-level committee meeting, members will finalize the valuation framework before seeking State Government approval.
Additionally, the committee will deliberate on a major overhaul of the Shrimandi Act. Citing a lack of strict penalties under current regulations, a proposal to amend the Act for enhanced security and governance will be reviewed. These decisions mark a significant step toward transparency and safety for the 12th-century shrine.
