New path for tractors become reality

The Travancore Devaswom Board has made a parallel route for the tractor service to Sabarimala Sannidhanam. The new tractor road is parallel to the Valiyanadapanthal at Sannidhanam.
The new road which the tractors use to transport essential commodities to Sabarimala Sannidhanam has been paved parallel to the Valiyanadapanthal road. As the tractor service was passing through the walkway, the Ayyappa devotees who were resting on the Viri and the Ayyappa devotees walking along the Valiyanadapanthal were severely affected by the dust. The tractors also hindered the smooth travel of Ayyappa devotees. The new path, however, will solve the issue to an extent.The new tractor road is located on the eastern side of the Valiyanadapanthal. The Devaswom Board was able to make the road a new route after the forest department's objections to the new route were removed. The Chief Minister intervened in the matter and directed the Forest Department to take immediate action. The new road is to the north of the Sannidhanam Government Hospital and the KSEB office. The tractors must travel this route and go up the stairs at the north end of the Valiyanadapanthal. Tractors going for cleanliness service will have to go through the Valiyanadapanthal, but with the new tractor line and tractor service, the difficulties faced by the Ayyappa devotees will come to an end.
