A vast sea of devotees has gathered in Puri for today’s Rath Yatra, where Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra embark on their sacred 3 km journey to the Gundicha Temple. The city is under a five‑tier security blanket, with about 10,000 personnel including CAPF, BSF, and Odisha police deployed under “Operation Sindoor”. AI‑enabled CCTV, drones, snipers, and traffic controls reinforce safety. Meanwhile, similar celebrations unfold in Digha (its first-ever Yatra, presided by CM Mamata Banerjee) and Ahmedabad (148th Rath Yatra), attracting massive crowds and top leaders including PM Modi, President Murmu, and Amit Shah.
