The Kerala Police have issued a strange directive to the hotels functioning near the Aluva bus stand in connection with the Nava Kerala Sadas to be held there on December 7, 2023.

The police have directed the hotels near the Aluva bus stand not to cook food using cooking gas on the day of the arrival of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on December 7. The hotels and shops dealing in cooked food are, however, allowed to sell these as long as they cook it somewhere else.
