The police are the guards for the pilgrims

Police compact arrangements have made the Sabarimala safer this season. There will be no pilgrims who do not have got the services of a policeman from Nilakkal to Sannidhanam. Such was the service rendered by the Kerala Police this season at Sabarimala. Along with the service of the staff, the functioning of the new generation security equipment has also been instrumental in facilitating this period. The Kerala Police has acquired the latest security equipment for use in the Sabarimala pilgrimage.

One of them is the minesweeper, which detects the presence of explosives, including mine, at a depth of two and a half meters below the earth. This American-made device is for military use. The Kerala Police bought 10 Mine Sweepers worth Rs 48 lakhs were for the purpose of Sabarimala. NLJD, security equipment, identifies if electrical wires have passed through the ground. The police system also includes powerful illuminated torches used for commando operations. The polite demeanor and assistance of the police has earned the admiration of devotees from other states as well.
