People are thronging to witness a reported miracle of “milk oozing” from a neem tree in Saramedu on the outskirts of Coimbatore on Monday, police said.

As the word spread that milk was reportedly oozing from the top of a tree near a Ganesh temple, a large number of people made a beeline to witness it, they said.

When some people started applying turmeric, vermilion and holy ash and offered flowers to the tree, a few over-enthusiastic devotees even constructed a temporary thatched shed for the benefit of people and made a make-shift temple, they added.
