Pathanamthitta : The ban on entry into Sabarimala for darshan announced Saturday has been lifted and devotees in regulated numbers from Nilakkel are being allowed to proceed to Sanidhanam. The curb has been called off following ease in weather conditions.
Earlier, the district was put on Red Alert after river Pamba rose high and Pamba dam swelled owing to severe rains plus water discharge from Kakki dam. Following this, the District Collector had announced a ban on entry for Sabarimala darshan, promising earliest possible darshan time-slot for those who came booked on virtual queue.
