Kochi:
Security has been tightened at the Lord Ayyappa temple on Sabarimala Hills
two days ahead of 'Makaravilakku' festival, which marks the end of the pilgrimage
season. About 3000 police personnel, including 200 personnel from commandos and
bomb squad have been sent at the temple complex and at the base camp Pampa. Monitoring
devices like scanners, metal detectors and hidden cameras have also been installed
to keep an eye on miscreants. To keep the crowd in control on the occasion of
'Makaravilakku' on January 14 when a huge rush of devotees is expected to visit
the temple, a crowd-management plan has been designed, Inspector General Arun
Kumar Sinha said. Restrictions would be imposed on the trekking to the temple
from the afternoon of January 14 to ensure a smooth passage for the procession
carrying "holy jewel" to be adorned on the Lord's idol. |
