Forest Minister stalls move to file case against Babu
Forest authorities in the State have warned the people against trespassing into forest areas in the name of trekking and adventure tourism.
Although trespassing is punishable under Section 27 of the Kerala Forest Act 1961, rarely was anyone punished for mere trespass in recent memory.
The nationwide media attention evoked by young hiker R. Babu when a mountaineering team of the Indian Army rescued him after he was stuck in a crevice while scaling the Cherad Hill at Malampuzha, has brought the issue of trespassing back in sharp focus.
