Construction of hi-tech control room near Ram temple in Ayodhya complete: UP govt
Built at a cost of Rs 11.28 crore, the facility also has an ultra-modern administrative building, officials say
Once commissioned, the facility will be operated exclusively by the police department and will enable close surveillance of all activities in the vicinity of the Ram Janmabhoomi complex, officials added.
The construction of an ultra-modern administrative building and high-tech control room on 12,000 square feet of land near the Ram temple complex in Ayodhya have been completed to strengthen the security architecture of the shrine, the Uttar Pradesh government said on Wednesday.
According to a press statement, the facility belongs to the police department, located just outside the Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra.
Constructed at a cost of Rs 11.28 crore, the project was undertaken by the Home Department and executed through the construction and design services. The construction work began in December 2023.
The G+1 structure houses the main control room in its basement, which will be equipped with advanced technology to enable real-time monitoring of CCTV footage, crowd management, traffic regulation and emergency response services in and around the Ram temple area.
Officials said the control room would play a crucial role in ensuring round-the-clock surveillance and swift coordination among security agencies, especially during peak footfall, festivals and major events.
CNDS project manager Devvrat Pawar said nearly 98 per cent of the work has been completed, with the construction of the boundary wall currently in progress. “The building is ready for inauguration and will be made fully operational soon after,” he said.
Once commissioned, the facility will be operated exclusively by the police department and will enable close surveillance of all activities in the vicinity of the Ram Janmabhoomi complex, officials added.
