Airport for Sabarimala pilgrims gets in-principle approval
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has said they have given an in-principle approval to build a greenfield airport near Erumeli for Sabarimala Temple pilgrims. He said they are waiting for the final report from the consultant, hired to study techno-economic feasibility and environmental impact, before taking further steps. The airports at Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram are presently closest to the temple.
