Security Enhancements in Temples
The Andhra Pradesh government is working to make temples safer.
They are putting up more CCTV cameras in temples to watch over the places and stop bad things from happening.
The government noticed that some temples don't have enough cameras or money to buy them.
So, they are sending people to check all the temples and decide where more cameras are needed.
The government will also pay for the cameras if needed.
They are also teaching temple workers how to use the cameras and what to do if they see something wrong.
This way, temples will be safer for everyone who visits.
Andhra Pradesh government is enhancing security in temples by increasing CCTV surveillance.
The initiative aims to prevent vandalism and improve safety in all major and smaller temples.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to install adequate CCTV cameras in all temples.
A detailed survey is being conducted to assess the need for additional CCTV cameras in smaller temples.
Funds will be sanctioned by the Commissioner of Endowments Department based on the survey reports.
