PETALING JAYA: The carrying of kavadi will not be allowed at Batu Caves until Jan 15 following the failure of devotees in complying with the standard operating procedure (SOP), says Sri Maha Mariamman Temple Dhevasthanam.

Its chairman Tan Sri Datuk Dr R. Nadarajah on Monday (Jan 10) said that a group of devotees who were carrying the kavadi had violated the SOP on Sunday (Jan 9) which resulted in fines by the Gombak district police.
