Hi-tech security for Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple

Monday, July4, 2011: After a treasure trove was discovered at the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Sunday said that a hi-tech security system, including a 24-hour mobile control room, would be installed.
Chandy, who chaired a high-level meeting over the issue, said that all decisions regarding the temple, including preservation of its immense treasures, would be taken after the directions of the Apex Court.
However, United Democratic Front (UDF) government’s stand was that the invaluable assets should be protected as the temple’s property by providing foolproof security at the state government’s cost.
The views of the Travancore royal family and the temple high priest would also be factored in while taking decisions on the temple’s assets and its security, Chandy told reporters after two-hour deliberations with senior police officials.
A 24-hour mobile control room will patrol areas around the temple, CM said.
