PATHANAMTHITTA: Intelligence department has come out with the warning that as Sabarimala is set to open for Mandalam season on Friday, there is all possibility for the law and order situation to go for a toss.

The Intelligence wing has informed that protestors are getting ready to sneak in to Sabarimala Sannidhanam as separate batches through the forest paths. Hence it will be a tough time ahead for the police to control them.

Soon after the meeting of top police officers at Nilakkal, DGP Loknath Behera confirmed the chances for clashes in Sabarimala. But he refused to disclose more details, citing security reasons.

Till now, more than 800 young women have booked for Sabarimala Ayyappa darshan.

Meanwhile, various Hindu organisations have called for agitations to prevent violation of customs in Sabarimala.
