Puri, Aug 29 [UDN}: Efforts are underway to streamline the darshan system at the Shree Jagannath Temple.
The state government had earlier announced plans to introduce a queue-based darshan system.
Ramps of different heights were constructed for this purpose.
Each ramp can accommodate around 50 devotees, with arrangements aimed at enabling 8,000–10,000 devotees to have a smooth darshan every hour.
However, the system could not be implemented due to some technical issues.
Technical assistance has now been sought from IIT Bhubaneswar.
A pilot model is being prepared, after which the government will formulate a plan for its implementation.
An air-conditioning system has also been installed in the Natamandap.
Minister Prithviraj Harichandan provided this information.
