Cracks in the Puri Jagannath Temple's boundary wall prompt urgent repairs and safety concerns.

The boundary wall of the Puri Jagannath Temple, known as Meghanada Pacheri, has developed cracks, raising safety concerns for the 12th-century structure. The Odisha government has enlisted the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to assist in repairs, as wastewater from a nearby area is worsening the damage and promoting algae growth. Authorities emphasize the need for immediate conservation efforts to protect this cultural heritage site.
