‘Treasury inventory to be tallied’

Bhubaneswar: Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said the state govt will conduct inventory of the valuables in Ratna Bhandar of Puri Jagannath Temple and tally the findings with the previous exercise.
“A high-level team of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will start the inspection work of Ratna Bhandar before the repair and renovation work begins.Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has already written to ASI to start the work,” said Pradhan after visiting the Puri temple.
“State govt will prepare an inventory of the treasures of Ratna Bhandar. After the exercise, the old and current inventory list will be tallied to find out if everything is in order,” he added.
Valuables from the inner and outer chambers of the Ratna Bhandar were shifted to a temporary strongroom in two phases last month. The empty chests and cupboards were also shifted to a room on the temple premises. Repair of the treasury will start after the completion of scanning and inspection work.
