The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has sought a report from the District Superintendent of Police (Kozhikode Rural) in the wake of growing public complaints of alleged anti-social activities at the Kuttiyadi Pass. The report will have to be submitted within two weeks of the initiation of legal action to address the safety concerns raised by the public.
The order issued by the rights committee pointed out that there were serious complaints revealing the presence of drug hotspots and increased anti-social activities around the 10th and 11th hairpins of the mountain pass. Immediate measures should be taken to ensure safe and smooth movement of motorists and tourists, the order said.
Justice K. Byjunath, who passed the order after registering a suo motu case, also asked the District Superintendent of Police to submit a comprehensive compliance report. The case will be taken up at the Commission’s next meeting in Kozhikode on December 23.
