This is not related to the Puri Airport project. It appears to be part of the Mangala River Bridge work. The Odisha Government has also not yet acted on the in-principle recommendations given by the Centre.
When a helicopter was seen flying over Puri, it became a news topic. At that time, one gentleman said that no helicopter should fly above the Jagannath Temple because peopleтАЩs feet would be above the temple. And тАЬhe gave some examples too (Indra Gandhi and rajib gandhi)тАЭ ,
If that is the concern, then how would airplanes carrying hundreds of passengers be allowed to fly over the temple?
