Thiruvananthapuram: Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala stated that the police will take further legal action according to the law against activists registered in cases related to traffic disruption during the closing rally of the Youth League State Conference in Ernakulam. The minister explained that registering cases for traffic obstruction affecting public freedom of movement is a routine police procedure. He added that any complaints or objections raised in connection with this will be thoroughly examined.
The case is based on the rally held in connection with the conclusion of the Youth League State Conference organized on Ernakulam Marine Drive. The police action followed complaints that traffic was completely blocked from Bolgatti Junction to Marine Drive due to the rally. The minister emphasized that legal proceedings will be pursued against those responsible for obstructing public transport and ordinary citizens' travel.
Meanwhile, the government is taking very seriously the increasing incidence of crimes involving minors. Strict legal measures will be implemented to curb such trends, the minister said. He noted that abusing legal benefits and loopholes related to age to deliberately commit crimes will not be tolerated.
In addition to preventing crimes, effective interventions will be ensured against law violations, the minister stated. Police inspections to prevent underage driving and drunk driving will be intensified. Strict actions will be taken against such violations that pose threats to road safety.
Decisions have been made to enhance checks and strengthen legal actions to control unlawful driving behaviors that cause road accidents and other dangerous situations.
The minister also announced that the government will take measures to increase women’s representation in the police force. The objective is to secure 30 percent women’s representation in the police services. He said the government prioritizes enhancing women’s participation in the police system and creating more opportunities for women.
Minister Ramesh Chennithala’s statements underline the commitment to protecting public freedom of movement, preventing legal violations, strengthening road safety, and increasing women’s participation in the police force. His response sends a clear message that there will be no compromise on law and order enforcement in connection with the Youth League rally-related cases and beyond.
