The demolition work of the illegal ropeway and towers allegedly built by Nilambur MLA P.V. Anwar at Cheenkannipoyil on the Kakkadampoyil hills in the district got under way on Friday.
The legal battle against the illegal construction began after the Oorgattery grama panchayat decided to dismantle the structures and the ropeway a few years ago.
Acting on a complaint filed by Nilambur native M.P. Vinod, the Ombudsman for Local Self Government Institutions K.K. Dineshan had ordered the dismantling of the ropeway towers.

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
