"Several small stones fell from the roof, and there was a crack in the wall of the Ratna Bhandar. Fortunately, the floor was not damp as feared."Amidst ongoing speculation about a hidden tunnel within the inner chamber of Ratna Bhandar (treasury) at the Shree Jagannath Temple, Puri's titular king Gajapati Maharaja Divya Singha Deb said that the ASI could employ modern technology to investigate.
