Changanassery Police Station faces crisis due to lack of infrastructure and staff shortage

The Changanassery Police Station, which serves as the entry point to Sabarimala, is facing a severe crisis due to inadequate infrastructure and acute staff shortages. Despite the police station and the DSP office operating on three and a half acres of land for a decade, the facility is in a poor condition. Locals are concerned that this poor state of the police station in Changanassery, a major pilgrimage center, will pose a major law and order challenge during the Mandala Kalam pilgrimage.
