Kerala High Court on January 10, 2020 observed that the constructions had violated coastal and environmental regulations
Though nearly two years have passed since the Supreme Court ordered the demolition of the illegally constructed villas of Kapico Kerala Resorts Pvt. Ltd on Nediyathuruthu island in Vembanad Lake, the move to demolish the structures remains in limbo.
It was on January 10, 2020 that the Supreme Court dismissed appeals by Kapico against a Kerala High Court decision banning the construction of resorts and removal of structures on the backwater island. The court observed that the constructions had violated coastal and environmental regulations.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
