Following protests by Hindu Aikyavedi, Tthe Archaeological Department has blocked the move of the Cochin Devaswom Board to demolish a historical monument that dates back to 500 years old. The department has also ordered to cease the tender processes on the monument.
Pazhayannur Kovilakam was established by Cochin Royal family near Pazhayannur Bhagawati Temple. Due to lack of protection, the Kovilakam is on the road to shatter. The Kovilakam has now become a centre for anti-social elements. The valuables of the Kovilakam has gone missing.
However, the Devaswom Board, which is supposed to renovate and protect the Kovilakam, has called for a tender to demolish it. Hindu Aikyavedi came out in demonstration against the move which has finally become fruitful.
Based on the complaint filed by Hindu Aikyavedi and members of the Royal Family, the Archaeological Department issued an order suspending the tender process.
