Heavy rush continues at Sabarimala

Staff Reporter

PATHANAMTHITTA: The Lord Ayyappa Temple at Sabarimala witnessed heavy rush for the third consecutive day on Sunday.

The pilgrims had to wait for long hours to climb the holy steps (‘Pathinettampady’). The queue of pilgrims extended even beyond Sabaripetom, 3 km from the Sannidhanam, on the Pampa-Saramkuthi-Sannidhanam traditional trekking path on Sunday.

The toilet blocks at the Pampa in the foothills of Sabarimala remained closed on Sunday.

District Collector Raju Narayanaswamy had directed the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) officials on Saturday to ensure that the toilets at Pampa remained open.

It is alleged that certain contractors who had secured the licence to run the toilets constructed by the TDB have been stage-managing a rush before the toilets with the intention of fleecing pilgrims. The Collector has warned the contractors of stern action.
