Kerala High Court Orders Food Availability for Health Personnel at Sabarimala Route

The Kerala High Court has directed the state government to ensure food facilities for <b>medical and panchayat personnel</b> serving on the Erumeli-Kananapatha forest route to Sabarimala. The court intervened after a government order from October 15 restricted food access from the Police Mess. Justices Raja Vijayaraghavan V and K V Jayakumar noted that denying these essential services would cause serious hardship and adversely affect duties during the pilgrimage season. Health teams, including doctors, are currently providing critical services at remote forest locations including <b>Kalaketty, Azhuthakadavu, and Koikkalkadavu</b>.
