P.S. Gopinathan, Ombudsman for Local Self-Government Institutions, has ordered the demolition of a ropeway being constructed by Nilambur MLA P.V. Anvar’s father-in-law across a controversial check-dam at Cheenkannippali in Urngattiri panchayat in the district.
Mr. Gopinathan has asked the Urngattiri panchayat secretary to complete the demolition before November 30.
It was found that the ropeway was being constructed under the guise of a restaurant for which the permission had been granted. The Ombudsman’s action has come in connection with a complaint filed by M.P. Vinod.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
