(THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, Jan01, 2019): Lakhs of women from across Kerala are expected to form a 620 km state sponsored 'Women's Wall Tuesday to uphold gender equality and rennaisance values, in the backdrop of frenzied protests in Sabarimala after the ruling LDF decided to implement the Supreme Court verdict, allowing all women to pray at the Ayyappa shrine.
The women will form the wall from Kasargod in northern Kerala to the southernmost district of Thiruvananthapuram.
Health minister K K Shylaja will lead the chain at Kasargod and CPM leader Brinda Karat will be the last person at the end of the chain in Thiruvananthapuram.
In order to ensure the success of the proposed wall, meetings were held at various levels-from ward level to district and constituency level.
The participants will gather at the designated centers on Tuesday at 3 pm, where a rehearsal will be held. The Wall will be formed between 4 and 4.15 pm, with participants taking a pledge to uphold gender equality and renaissance values.
