Kerala government has decided to refer to a high-level technical committee, which will include experts from ISRO, the scrutiny of the hitech security plan drawn up for Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple whose underground vaults contained a huge treasure trove.

The panel would also have experts from computer hitech lab C-Dac, Centre for Earth Sciences Studies (CESS) and those from Civil and Mechanical departments of College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram.

The decision was taken at a high-level meeting of police and civil officials convened by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Friday, a Chief Minister's office spokesperson said.

Since the proposed permanent security plan of the sprawling temple complex involved high technology, officials of the government were of the view that it would be desirable to ensure their thoroughness by examination by a body of experts, the spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, the present security system, which includes hidden cameras and metal detectors as well as round-the-clock patrolling around the shrine here, would continue.

Police personnel deployed for the shrine's security would be imparted awareness on carrying out their task without in any way hindering the temple rituals and poojas and causing inconvenience to devotees, the spokesperson said. Security arrangements at the temple would be reviewed every week to ensure their thoroughness.
