Drive against unsafe adventure tourism to be launched in Kerala

A drive will be launched against adventure tourism ventures operating in Idukki district without complying with mandatory safety norms, District Collector Dinesan Cheruvat said on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters, Cheruvat said a team would be constituted as part of the drive, and inspections would begin after February 14.

According to the district administration, the action follows an incident in November last year when a family of four was stranded about 150 feet above the ground at a sky-dining restaurant in Anachal after the crane from which it was suspended developed a technical snag.
