Steps to augment sewage treatment and water supply will be taken up before the next season at Sabarimala besides improvement of roads and parking facilities, Minister for Transport and Devaswoms V.S. Sivakumar said on Tuesday.
The Minister was speaking to the media after a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy here to review the performance during the just-concluded pilgrimage season at Sabarimala and plan for the next season.
Mr. Sivakumar said that tenders for a new sewage treatment plant at Sabarimala would be called in April. The capacity of the plant at Pampa would be increased. A pipeline would be laid from Pampa to the Sannidhanam parallel to the existing line for water supply. The capacity of the Kunnar dam supplying water to Sabarimala would be augmented.
