Keralam Minister Orders Completion of Barricading at Pampa Ghats by November 13
Keralam Water Resources Minister Mons Joseph has directed the completion of barricading at the Pampa bathing ghats by November 13 ahead of the Sabarimala pilgrimage. Renovation and waste clearance at the ghats have been completed, with coordinated efforts alongside the Kerala State Electricity Board to regulate dam water levels and maintain river flow. Additional measures include providing drinking water to pilgrims, ensuring sanitation facilities, and completing barricading at the Pandalam pilgrim shelter. Plans for permanent water facilities post-pilgrimage are underway in consultation with relevant authorities.
