Thiruvananthapuram : Union Minister of IT Alphons Kannanthanam will be visiting the Sabarimala shrine to evaluate the facilities meant for the pilgrims. While speaking to the IANS, the minister said that he came to know the facilities were not up to the mark.
Interestingly, the minister's visit comes at a time when the Kerala unit of the BJP observed Sunday as a protest day over the arrested K Surendran.
Meanwhile, BJP leader V. Murlaeedharan said that though he had been invited to the inauguration of the annual Kerala Union of Working Journalists meet at Kozhikode on Monday, he will not take part as it would be inaugurated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
