Heritage Works at Puri Resume Today

Puri: As instructed by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, the heritage corridor works around Puri Srimandir resumed here today after the gap of almost two months.

The renovation works at the municipal market complex near Puri Bada Danda began by the Odisha Bridge & Construction Corporation Limited.

The renovated market complex would provide enough space for all the shopkeepers to base their business out of there, said an official.

Notably, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik directed resumption of the heritage corridor works around Sri Jagannath temple at Puri and Lingaraj temple in Bhubaneswar from May 29.

The development works for heritage conservation and beautification of the two shrines and their periphery were suspended following imposition of the nationwide lockdown in the wake of coronavirus outbreak.
