Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, the Minister said that the police had been asked to take steps towards this, including installation of closed circuit television cameras at various places. Police would also take steps to enforce the ban on use of plastic bags at the pilgrim centre.

Beggars would be denied entry to the temple complex.
