Srikakulam: In a move to ease travel for Ayyappa devotees, Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu announced that those observing Ayyappa Deeksha may now carry their irumudi as cabin luggage rather than checking it in. Previously restricted for security reasons, this exemption will be in effect until January 20, allowing devotees to keep the irumudi with them during their journey. The minister made this announcement on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday and later confirmed it in a press conference held in Srikakulam.
