The proposal of the Devaswom Board is to install close circuit television system at all important places in Sabarimala for the police to monitor security and for the Devaswom Board to ensure that flow pilgrims is properly managed and temple employees attend to their work responsibly. It is very important to have sufficient number of close circuit televisions installed in front of the sanctum sanctorum to ensure that all devotees get Darsan and jostling in front of the sanctum sanctorum should not lead to opportunity for Darsan only to physically strong devotees. The proposal of the Board to install close circuit televisions and cameras after consultation with the police officials in charge of security is approved. The Devaswom Board is directed to invite tenders after identifying the locations. The learned Government Pleader will request the D.G.P. to depute a senior police officer, who is familiar with D.B.A.No.100/2010 2 Sabarimala security arrangement, to advise the Devaswom Board in regard to locations of close circuit televisions. The D.B.A. is closed. Issue copy to Government Pleader also. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) (P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE) ps
