‘Frisking at Guruvayur causing inconvenience’

The Prathikaranavedi has presented the issue before the devaswom managing committee and the government. The devotees cleared through the Door Frame Metal Detectors (DFMC) are again physically examined by the special squad and is causing inconvenience to the devotees at the entry points, said Prathikaranavedi convener Venugopal Pazhoor.

The matter has been presented before the devaswom and senior police officials. Prathikaranavedi is seeking the intervention of the devaswom and the Home Minister, he added.

The physical frisking performed under the pretext of security after the entry through Door Frame Metal Detectors is causing embarrassment to the devotees of both genders and the physical examination by the special squad has to be rectified either by the police or the devaswom by installing hi-tech security equipment, said BJP Guruvayur president Ezhuvappadi Sree Kumar.
