Kochi: The Kerala High Court issued a stay for the renovations at Sree Thirunelli Maha Vishnu Temple in Wayanad for 10 days. The restoration works are prohibited based on a report submitted by the director of the archaeological department. Kozhikode native V Saleesh has filed a petition at the high court over the issue.

The petition pointed out that the renovations have to be conducted under a supervisory committee including the experts in the archaeology department. The interim order in favour of the department was declared by a bench comprising justice Anil K Narendran and justice PG Ajithkumar.
