Police disrupted Thrissur Pooram, Thiruvambady Devaswom tells Kerala HC

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: The Thiruvambady Devaswom has informed the Kerala High Court that the devotees who came to participate, witness, and celebrate Thrissur Pooram were prevented, and the festival abruptly brought to a grinding halt by the police personnel deployed at the venue. Last week, the Cochin Devaswom Board had told the HC that certain actions of the Thiruvambady Devaswom during the pooram had given rise to suspicion that those were aimed at aiding certain political parties in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections. Girish Kumar, secretary of the Thiruvambady Devaswom, stated in the affidavit that the ‘ezhunnellippu’ procession was disrupted by the police. The affidavit also claimed that the police did not permit authorised personnel and workers of the devaswom, including licensed fireworks handlers, to access the ‘magazine’ for arranging fireworks.
