There is a threat to the famous shrine from the terrorists since the past eight years and present police security as well as temple's private security is inadequate, Vikhe-Patil, who is the MLA from Shirdi Assembly constituency, said.

It has been observed that proper checking is not being done by the security men at the entrance gates and even the CCTV cameras installed in the premises are not being properly monitored, he said.
