SJTA chief administrator has formed a committee headed by the administrator (security) to inquire into the matter, Puri District Collector Chanchal Rana told reporters after a video of four people scaling the garbage heap near the 'Meghnada Pacheri’ (outer boundary wall) went viral in social media.

PTI could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

"Admitting that there was a lapse", Rana said that the committee will probe into the alleged breach of security. "Trespassers are being identified and accountability will be fixed in this incident. Subsequent action will also be taken," the collector said.
