CONTRARY to the claim by the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), chances are slim for the proposed Global Ayyappa Sangamam to play any major role in the development of Sabarimala.

Ayyappa meet may not aid in developing Sabarimala temple

The master plan for Sabarimala, the hill shrine within the Periyar Tiger Reserve, has already been approved and any change would require clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the Supreme Court.

The Central Empowered Committee (CEC), in its report before the SC, has already identified major deviations by TDB from the master plan. The report was submitted after green activist professor Sobhindran approached the apex court. The CEC had made several recommendations to protect the shrine and its ecosystem.

As part of implementing the master plan, the state cabinet had this January approved a ₹1,033.62-crore layout plan.
