Taking the message to the forest
Sorrimuthu Ayyanar Temple in Tirunelveli district attracts around 2 lakh devotees for the New Moon festival in the Tamil month of Adi. As the temple is inside the forest and along Tamiraparani river, pollution is a big problem. To propagate the initiative by the district administration to minimise damage caused by a huge influx of devotees in the pristine area, volunteers from Muthamil Public School and St. Ignatius Convent carried out an environmental awareness campaign. They gave cloth bags (manjappai) with country fruits and saplings along with “Prasadam” to the devotees during the festival. District Disaster Management Special Tahsildar Selvam coordinated the efforts.
