A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court has ordered that only registered dolly workers who have obtained valid police verification certificates and health cards be allowed to carry pilgrims along the trekking path on dollies to the Sabarimala Sannidhanam.
The Bench comprising Justice Anil K. Narendran and Justice P.G. Ajithkumar also directed the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) to ensure fitness of the dollies before the commencement of each monthly puja and Mandala-Makaravilakku festival season. The court also asked the TDB to publish on the Virtual-Q platform the rate for dolly trips (to and fro). The rate should also be exhibited in multiple languages at Pampa, Marakkootam and Sannidhanam.
