Even as the Supreme Court’s order allowing women of all ages to enter Sabarimala temple in Kerala is yet to be implemented following resistance and violent protests from devotees and various fringe groups, the situation is likely to worsen again after a group of 12 women from Chennai left for hill shrine Saturday evening.
Led by 42-year-old lawyer Selvi, who is part of Chennai-based women rights organisation ‘Manithi’, the group, which includes three activists, will meet another group of 15 women from Kerala Sunday before beginning their journey to the temple.
