Tourists raise safety concerns over rising ‘anti-social activities’ on Kuttiyadi pass
Why Now
Tourists traveling through the Kuttiyadi pass have raised alarms over increasing anti-social activities, particularly drug-related incidents. This scenic route, often used to avoid the Thamarassery ghat road, has become concerning for families, especially at night. Local residents report feeling helpless against aggressive individuals frequenting the area for substance use. Entrepreneurs in farm tourism have highlighted the lack of police presence and street lighting as contributing factors to the rise in crime. Complaints about thefts and unsafe gatherings on the road have been reported by local shop owners. Despite ongoing issues, local authorities have not taken significant action. Police have indicated plans to enhance night patrols and conduct inspections to address drug trafficking concerns.
