Tamil Nadu to use QR code-based system to prevent smuggling of temple idols

The Tamil Nadu government is set to introduce a QR code-based security system to prevent the smuggling of temple idols across the state. Informing about the government's decision, Tamil Nadu Minister PK Sekar Babu said that the process of giving a QR-code-based security system to temple idols is currently underway and is likely to be completed in six months. After the exercise, the idols will be under monitoring by Tamil Nadu Police and their location can be traced in case they go missing, Sekar said. Referring to the mega spiritual event of Soorasamharam in Tamil Nadu, which marked the culmination of the annual Kandha Sashti festival at the temples dedicated to Lord Murugan, Babu said the event at Tiruchendur attracted over eight lakh devotees.
