(MENAFN) The Vishnu temple in the Greater Toronto Area, where a monument of Mahatma Gandhi was vandalized last week, has announced additional security measures to prevent such crimes in the future.
The monument at the Richmond Hill temple was vandalized on Wednesday and has yet to be thoroughly cleaned. To remove the blue paint without damaging the bronze bust's unique coating, professional workers will be required. However, the pro-Khalistan graffiti has been effectively erased off the pedestal of the 20-foot-tall bronze monument.
According to Robin Doobay, a temple executive, security cameras will be installed to monitor the Peace Park within the temple compound, where the statue stands. He stated that the police have been "very supportive" and have “very supportive” and “sent out an officer from the crime department and he is advising us on the security upgrade in the Peace Park”.
He said that they were waiting for information on the status of the vandalism inquiry from York regional police, who had collected CCTV tapes from other cameras in the temple for processing.
