VD Satheesan said that the ministry is on tour and there is no one to look after Sabarimala, pilgrims are in crisis.
The Sabarimala Sannidhanam and Vattavalams are reeling under the inadequacy of basic facilities. The queue from Pampa to Sannidhanam is 10 to 15 hours. VD Satheesan alleged that the devotees are not even getting drinking water.
Although the High Court reiterates that special attention should be paid to women and children, the government is not moving. No review meetings. The Devaswom Board and the Minister stand looking on.
It is sad that the police do not show one-tenth of the attention they show in providing security to the Chief Minister and Ministers in the case of Sabarimala. Disputes between the police and the Devaswom Board also make pilgrims miserable.
A letter was sent to the Chief Minister yesterday asking for the government’s immediate intervention in this regard. He also stated that the UDF delegation led by Thiruvanjoor Radhakrishnan will visit Pampa tomorrow
