Security has been beefed up at major temples in Jharkhand in the wake of serial blasts rocking Bihar's famous Mahabodhi temple at Bodh Gaya town on Sunday morning, police said.
"The security at important temples has been beefed up. The district administration and police have been directed to keep vigil at important religious places," an officer at the police headquarters in Ranchi told IANS.
The temples where security has been stepped up include Deoghar's Shiva temple, Parasnath temple in Giridih, Rajrappa temple in Ramgarh and the temples dedicated to Goddess Deori, Lord Shiva and Jagannath in the state capital Ranchi.
Besides, strict vigil will be kept during the Rath Mela to be held at the Jaggannath temple in Ranchi on July 10, police said. Thousands of people usually participate in the annual fair.
