Problems at Sabarimala

[Guest guest]

My dear iayyappan Devotees,

 

My name is Manikandan, I am from a place

called Madurai

in Tamil Nadu.

This year I have completed my 18th

year with out break. Thanks to my Lord.

 

In Sabarimala I could see certain issues

in the facilities that are been made to the devotees. One such is bus facility

made from Pamba to Nilakal. Presently the devotees who come in private van and

buses have to park their vehicles at a place called Nilakal (place where you

can see a big Shiva statue on the way to Pamba), which is around 22km far from

Pamba. All devotees who return after darshan have to reach Nilakal only through

Kerala Transport buses available in Pamba.

 

At Pamba there is no proper arrangement

made for the devotees to board inside the bus. The people are been rushing in

to the bus and they are been dumped like animals. Since there is no proper

arrangement made, the kids and aged people are literally crushed, when they board

inside the bus. In one bus they dump around 80 people inside. It is so

pathetic. The police men and Kerala transport corporation people are literally

watching the scene over there and they are not doing anything. My suggestion

are 1) to construct a bus stop near Pamba and devotees should be allowed inside

the bus through queue system 2) Only optimum number of person should be allowed

to board inside the bus.

 

Since I have experienced this difficulty,

I beg all the team members to tap their entire network to eradicate this

problem once far all from Sabarimala.  This will be a great Seva to Lord

Iayyappa and to their devotees.
