By Our Staff Reporter

PATHANAMTHITTA, DEC. 7. The Akhila Bharatha Ayyappa Seva Sena has demanded the Union and State Governments to constitute a separate administrative body for the Sabarimala group of temples. A resolution passed at the Sena State committee meeting here today said agitation would be launched against the alleged violation of customs and traditions at the instance of the Travancore Devaswom Board at Sabarimala. The meeting presided over by the Sena president, Bhaskara Pillai, decided to stage a dharna before the Devaswom Assistant Commissioner's office on the Mandalavilakku day.

In a statement here today, the sena general secretary, Madhumala Radhakrishnan, said a fast would be organised before the Secretariat and the TDB headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram to press its demand for an independent administrative body.
