Many people are going to Puri to see Lord Jagannath on New Year's Day.

On the eve of the New Year, the coastal city of Puri in Odisha was bustling with energy as thousands of devotees from all over the country flocked to the 12th-century shrine to seek the blessings of the Holy Trinity. It is believed that starting the year with the divine blessings of the Holy Trinity brings good fortune and joy.

Anticipating a large number of visitors at the holy shrine on New Year's Day, the district administration and temple authorities have taken extensive measures to ensure a smooth and comfortable darshan experience for the devotees. The Superintendent of Police for Puri district, Vinit Agrawal, personally inspected the arrangements and shared that the Puri Police have put in place strict security measures for the temple. To avoid any inconvenience, devotees are allowed to enter for darshan in an organized manner through the seven gates, and a block-wise system has been implemented. So far, the darshan arrangements have been running smoothly, as per Agrawal.

In addition, barricades have been set up from Market Square to the temple to regulate the flow of devotees. Ambulance services are also readily available to address any health emergencies promptly. The entire city is under surveillance with CCTV cameras installed at key locations. Agrawal extends a warm invitation to all devotees to join in the New Year celebrations at the temple.

One devotee expressed their satisfaction with the arrangements made at the temple, ensuring a hassle-free and comfortable darshan of the holy triad. Notably, the Odisha Police have also taken extensive security measures for the New Year's celebrations in various cities across the state, especially in the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack. The Commissionerate Police have deployed additional officers and a significant number of security personnel to ensure a peaceful celebration.

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, an adequate number of forces and police officials will also be stationed at crucial locations in the cities to ensure a safe and joyous New Year's Day celebration. With all the preparations in place, devotees and residents of Odisha eagerly await the dawn of the New Year, filled with hope and blessings from the Holy Trinity.
