A contempt of court petition has been filed before the Kerala High Court, seeking action by the court against the organisers of a rally called by the Muslim Youth League (MYL) on Sunday that threw traffic out of hear for hours in the High Court Junction-Goshree bridge corridor.
The petition was filed by Puthuvype resident M.M. Jehangir. In his plea, he submitted that he had, on coming to know about the rally, submitted petitions to the District Collector, City Police Commissioner, and the Ernakulam Regional Transport Officer, seeking their intervention to ensure normal flow of traffic through the corridor. He also objected to a plan to divert vehicles to and from Goshree islands through a much longer 16-km route through Container Road.
In his contempt plea, he sought action against P.K. Firoz, MLA, who was among the rally organisers, and three officials, citing that the rally was held in violation of High Court orders that had curbed demonstrations that threw normal life out of gear.
