Authorities plan new roads at Nilackal to ease parking congestion

With Nilackal, the base camp of the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple, bracing for heavy pilgrim traffic during the upcoming annual pilgrimage season, authorities are planning two new roads to ease congestion and streamline vehicle movement around the parking grounds.

According to sources, one of the proposed roads will pass behind the Devaswom guest house, while the other will run near the goshala (cow shelter). The road behind the guest house is intended to connect the parking area with the existing exit road used by vehicles leaving Nilackal.
