Thousands of Lord Ayyappa devotees took to the streets yesterday in Kochi against the implementation of the Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all age groups into Sabarimala temple, even as activist Trupti Desai announced plans to visit the hill shrine soon.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government, which decided to implement the ruling given by the apex court, held a meeting here to evaluate the preparations carried out for pilgrims arriving at the temple, which will open for monthly poojas on October 17.
