He said this was in view of the Movement Control Order (MCO), and the police would be stationed along the route where the chariot will pass through to ensure no other gathers around.
“I hope everyone can follow the SOP, so that no action is taken against anyone and the chariot can move smoothly,” he said during his press conference on the MCO here, Tuesday. The government had previously announced that the silver chariot of the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple in Batu Caves would be allowed to travel along the prescribed route for the festival, however, only 10 individuals would be allowed to participate in the ceremony.
