Museum displaying Lord Buddha’s relics cries for security Post News Network
Chandikhole: The security arrangements at Odisha’s first bulletproof museum located at Lalitgiri in Jajpur district where Lord Buddha’s bone fragments have been kept are not up to the mark, a report said.
Lalitgiri, Ratnagiri and Udayagiri in Jajpur district are known all over the world as ‘Diamond Triangle’. There is a bulletproof museum in Lalitgiri, built by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) at a cost of Rs 10,00,000,00. There are three caskets placed there with the smallest one having the bone fragments of Lord Buddha.
The museum was inaugurated through video conferencing by Prime Minister Narendra Modi December 24, 2018. For several months after the inauguration, the museum was under tight security. Later, the same security arrangements at the museum were found missing.
