The report by the Advocate commission appointed by the Kerala High Court pointed out that the construction of an airport at Aranmula may pose a threat to the Aranmula Parthasarathy temple and the environment.

The main finding of the commission hints at major damage to the Aranmula Parthasarathy temple. There is hardly 1000 meters between the proposed private airport project and the temple. The noise pollution is likely to cause major damage to the temple and the sound caused by landing and taking off of flights may damage the temple mast.

Damage to the temple deity may lead to erosion of faith. Rubber farming may be affected. Reclaiming the paddy lands taken over for the construction of the airport may cause environmental hazards and cause flooding of the Pampa river. The airport would be the prime cause for large scale destruction in the area, the report says.

The High Court had appointed the Advocate Commission on the basis of a report submitted by Devaswom Ombudsman R Bhaskaran that the height of the temple mast could not be reduced to facilitate construction of the airport as the flag mast was installed as per Tantric rules.
