The Orissa High Court today formed a one-man committee to inspect the ongoing repair work of the prayer hall of Shree Jagannath Temple at Puri and submit a report.
The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is undertaking the repair of the prayer hall of the 12th-century shrine, which developed cracks in its pillars and beam.
The ASI has told the court that the repair work will be over by June next year.
While hearing a PIL in this connection, a division bench headed by Chief Justice Vineet Saran constituted the committee to be headed by retired engineer and advocate N K Mohanty and directed the Puri district administration and Shree Jagannath Temple Administration to cooperate with the panel in inspecting the repair work.
