The management of the Siddhivinayak Temple here has decided to install jammers at the temple due to an increase in threat perception.

Devotees thronging the Lord Ganesh temple in Prabhadevi have not been allowed to offer garlands and coconuts from June 18 in view of the increase in threat, police said. The people, who are now frisked and have their baggage put through scanners, will be under watch via closed circuit cameras, said Siddhivinayak Temple Trust Chairman Subash Mayekar. “We will install jammers soon so that they can block signals for any remote-controlled (explosive) devices and prevent blasts in the temple,” he said, adding these precautionary measures were for the safety of devotees. He said, “Police asked us to take precautionary measures and we decided to go hi-tech.”
