The Travancore Devaswom Board, which manages the Sabarimala temple, said on Friday that it would approach the Supreme Court with a report on the tense situation prevailing in Kerala after the government decided to implement the court’s order on entry of women of all age groups into the shrine.
On Friday, the Sabarimala temple complex witnessed high drama and tense moments when two women reached the hilltop with heavy police escort, but had to return before reaching the sanctum sanctorum following protests by Lord Ayyappa devotees.
Union Home Ministry issued an advisory to Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to tighten security in view of the continuing protests.
