BKTC to Install CCTV in Badrinath, Strengthen Security After Theft

Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) Vice Chairman, Vijay Kapruwan, on Tuesday announced the immediate installation of high-quality surveillance cameras across all locations within the temple complex following an alleged theft at the revered Badrinath Dham. 

The Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC) has launched a full-scale investigation after social media reports forced a dark secret into the public eye, leading to the arrest of an internal temple



official.

The scandal erupted on the 2nd of the month when allegations began circulating online. Recognising the gravity of the situation, temple authorities and local government officials moved quickly to form parallel inquiry teams. 

"A matter came to light via social media on the 2nd, and the temple committee immediately constituted a 4-member team to initiate an inquiry. Simultaneously, the government also formed a team comprising a commissioner and other officials," Kapruwan told media.
