Temporary Covered Walkway to Be Built for Pilgrims from Marakkoottam to Saramkuthi
Temporary Covered Walkway Planned
The meeting also decided to construct a temporary covered walkway (pandal) from Marakkoottam to Saramkuthi neck point to enhance pilgrim comfort. The structure will extend from the banyan tree at Saramkuthi to the U-turn on the footpath, covering approximately 1.5 km in two sections.
Additionally, measures to improve safety and crowd management were discussed. A dedicated animal-control team will be deployed, and a round-the-clock jumbo squad will be on duty throughout the pilgrimage period.
