The Ministry of National Unity, led by Deputy Minister K. Saraswathy, is considering upgrading the **Sri Maha Mariamam temple** near Ladang Kerilla, which was built about **108 years ago**.

Based on the frequency of visits, the ministry has identified several improvements needed for the comfort of worshippers at the temple. These include the provision of a hall, toilets, a plumbing system, a new coat of paint to brighten the temple, and a parking area.

The ministry has received a memorandum from the temple management regarding the problems at large. The deputy minister has committed to examining the memorandum to obtain appropriate assistance to enable the temple management to repair the damages and upgrade its facilities. This announcement was made during the 108th Aandu Thiruvizha Temple Anniversary and ‘Semarak Perpaduan’ Unity programme.
