A UDF team, investigating conditions at Sabarimala's Nilackal and Pamba, labels the situation "extremely pitiable." Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan criticizes the government's failure, citing pilgrims enduring 8-9 hour queues without basic amenities, emphasizing an artificially created rush. The absence of a viripanthal leaves pilgrims with limited resting places. Overcrowded buses at Nilackal lacked air conditioning, worsening the ordeal. The panel calls for legal action against severe human rights violations, underscoring the urgent need for improved facilities. The forthcoming report to the UDF state committee aims to address the distressing state of affairs and push for corrective measures at the revered pilgrimage site.
