Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala police today slammed the district administration for 'delayed action' during the Puttingal temple fire in which over 100 people died.
In its report, the police said the district administration denied permission to hold fireworks display at the last minute.
The report also blamed "disunity" and "lack of cohesion" in the district administration during relief operations.
The court had also said that police failed to provide basic safety to devotees who had gathered at the Kollam temple; this amounts to a violation of human rights, the judges said. They also said they are disinclined to "trust the police" and are considering asking the CBI to take over the investigation.
