SANNIDHANAM: Congress leader Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan alleged that police security has been beefed up at Sabarimala in order to cover up the lack of facilities there. “Devotees are suffering because of the lapses of devaswom board and government. I will submit a report in the assembly regarding this”, said Thiruvanchoor after visiting Sabarimala with Congress leaders Adoor Prakash and V S Sivakumar.
