Functional CCTVs required in police stations: court
The Kerala High Court on Tuesday expressed its dissatisfaction with the report filed by the Inspector General of Police on progress of the investigation into a crime registered against a person in Thenmala in Kollam who was allegedly chained to a railing of the police station when he sought receipt for a complaint lodged with the police.
When the petition by K. Rajeev, alleging police harassment came up for hearing, Justice Devan Ramachandran orally observed that it was very unfortunate that a citizen who had come to make a complaint was chained to the railing and then slapped with the offence under section 117 (e) of the Kerala Police Act for obstructing a police officer from discharging his duties.
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
