15Th newspaper issued with headlines of Sabarimala pullumedu tragedy.It happened while the devotees were returning home after witnessing Makarajoithy .Death increased to 102.The tragedy happened because of crowding lakh of devotees in small place,some fell down,others kicked with feet.There was no light,road facilities,,more vehicles parked,less police to control, became the reason for tragedy.After happening each tragedy ,different department blame each other.
In 1999this type of tragedy occured in Pampa and 52 devotees died.After judicial enquiry 14 suggestions where given to Government to avoid these type of tragedies.One of the suggestions was not to allow devotees in pullumedu.
Sabarimala Deva swam Board is interested in only building huge building.They are not giving facilities to devotees.All they wanted is to get forest and cut trees in the name of development.If more and more trees forests cleaned,where the animals will live?They can not have a strike or give petition in court for justice.
When and where some tragedy happens,Government ,Congress or communist,give order of Judicial enquiry.After enquiry ,the report will put in a corner.
The boat tragedy happened atThekkadi in 2009 and Government ordered Judicial enquiry.But till now enquiry is not finished and compensation is not given.(Mathrubhumi reports)
There is no value for a human being.The lost of some one in a family can not replaced by Judicial enquiry.

Quite, timely, Suma. The sad aspect is that these are man-made tragedies unlike the natural disasters over which man has little control. This tragedy is because of the greed of the government and the Devaswom board which allowed pilgrims to assemble in large numbers without providing for the infrastructure.
