A meeting convened by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday evening solved the crisis in conducting the ensuing edition of the Thrissur Pooram.
The meeting suggested maintaining the status quo in case of the rent for the pooram exhibition ground. The rent charged by the Cochin Devaswom Board for the ground last year was Rs. 42 lakh.
The Paramekkavu and Thiruvambadi Devaswoms, the main participants of the pooram , agreed to the decision.
