Following the appeal filed by the HR&CE Department against the High Court’s permission to light the Karthigai Deepam atop the Tirupparankundram hill, heavy police deployment has been enforced across the region.
Madurai Police Commissioner Lokanathan is supervising the security arrangements, with over 600 police officers deployed across 27 sensitive points.
CCTV cameras and drone surveillance have been set up around temple routes, hill paths, the archanai areas, and major streets to prevent any untoward incident.
Hindu groups continue to submit petitions requesting permission to light the Deepam at the hilltop, further intensifying the situation.
