Authorities have begun identifying forest land for Sabarimala's long-pending master plan, with plans to compensate with equivalent revenue land. The Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president confirmed that development works will commence after the Makaravilakku pilgrimage season concludes. Key decisions include avoiding multi-storey buildings on forest land to minimize environmental impact while maximizing pilgrim amenities. The TDB is finalizing short-term and medium-term priorities, with an expert team's report on implementation expected soon. Resolving land clearance issues is seen as crucial for advancing the master plan.
