Intelligence lapse in Vilappilsala, says HC

KOCHI: The high court said that the tension that resulted when people protested the installation of instruments for waste management in Vilappilsala was due to a lapse in intelligence.

It said that intelligence could not foresee the protests.

The government has requested the court to check the video footages of the attack on police.

At the same time, the corporation alleged that the deputy speaker, N Shakthan, who visited the place in support of the protestors, was violating the prohibitory orders that existed there. It added that the government had not supplied enough police protection.
