“We will not let anyone take advantage of the devotees. We have got information about a group who tries to steal money from pilgrims in the name of Neyyabhishekham. Police and Vigilance have been entrusted with the duty to find this out. The current regulations in Sabarimala are beneficial to pilgrims, it has helped in regulating the crowd and for smooth conduct of Darshan” said Padmakumar.
