THIRUVANNATAPURAM: Devaswom Board Minister Kadakampally Surendran has said all facilities will be arranged in Sabarimala for women who plan to visit Sabarimala in the wake of the Supreme Court order. But there will be no special queue for them. Digital booking services will be available for women.

“Toilets will be set up along Pampa-Sannidhanam pathway. In buses plying Nilakkal-Pampa route, 25 pc concession in ticket fare will be given to women. The government’s decision is to implement the Supreme Court’s order in the most decent way.

More women police officers will be deployed in Sabarimala. There will be women police officers on 18 steps, if need be. Those who reach Sannidhanam for darshan should try not to stay there for long hours after darshan,” Kadakampally instructed.
The minister added that usually women travel with their husband or family to such temples; they usually don’t travel alone to such pilgrim centres.
