Nitte Institute of Physiotherapy (NIPT), in association with the Indian Association of Physiotherapy (IAP) and Pathanamthitta Rehabilitation and Palliative Centre Society (PRPC), organised a free physiotherapy camp for Sabarimala pilgrims during Makara Sankranti. The camp aimed to provide relief from physical ailments commonly faced by the Ayyappa devotees during their pilgrimage.

The devotees, who are forced to wait in long queues without food and water, are demanding a separate queue for women and children.

The annual festival, which used to attract millions of devotees from and outside the country to the hill shrine, begins on November 17 and concludes on January 15, 2023

An order has been issued banning the consumption and sale of alcohol, drugs and tobacco products in these areas from November 14 to January 22, 2023
