Plagued by a continuing wave of fake bookings, the Travancore Devaswom Board has sought to impose service charge for making the online bookings of queue slots to Sabarimala. According to N. Vasu, president, TDB, the suspicions of an organised attempt to sabotage the Sabarimala pilgrimage have been reinforced further during the five-days long monthly puja, which ended on Wednesday. “Despite raising the daily limit of pilgrims to 10,000, just around 11,000 devotees visited the temple during these days. The daily bookings, on the other hand, stood well over 6,000,” he said. The booking of virtual queue slots for Sabarimala darsan is done through the website www.Sabarimala.org, an initiative of the Kerala Police.
