The Shree Jagannath Temple Management Committee has approved a Rs 800-crore heritage corridor project aimed at redeveloping the 12th century shrine s surrounding areas, sources said on Tuesday. The committee, during a meeting chaired by Gajapati Maharaha of Puri Divyasingha Deb, approved the proposal for the Shree Jagannath Heritage Corridor (SJHC) project by the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), on Monday. The SJTA will seek approval of the National Monuments Authority (NMA), Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Puri-Konark Development Authority (PKDA) before starting work from June 1. The project includes plans to beautify and develop the 75-metre corridor around the temple s boundary walks (meghanada pacheri), set up the Shree Jagannath Reception Centre and conserve temples in various mutts linked with rituals, officials said.
