Tight security in Taliparamba ahead of Amit Shah's temple visit
In view of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's scheduled visit to the Sree Rajarajeshwara Temple in Taliparamba on Saturday (July 12), the district administration has implemented stringent security measures and traffic restrictions. The Minister, who is under Z-plus security cover, is expected to arrive at the temple by 5 p.m. Entry to the temple will be completely restricted from 5 p.m. until the Minister departs after darshan. A notice to this effect has been issued by the temple authorities and displayed on the premises. According to officials, even media personnel will not be permitted inside during the visit. Special poojas, including the main offering—the gold pot—along with Amit Shah's 'Pattom Thali' and 'Neeyamruthu' offerings, will be performed during his visit.

Meanwhile, Kannur police have announced traffic curbs between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. across several key routes. Traffic will be regulated on Airport Road, Mattannur, Chalode, Kollolam, Vaduvankulam, Mayyil, and Nanichery Kadavu. Vehicles travelling from Kannur to the airport are advised to take the route via Mele Chovva, Thazhe Chovva, Chakkarakkal, and Anjarakandy. Vehicles from Taliparamba heading toward the airport should proceed via Taliparamba, Chiravakk, and Dharmashala. District Collector Arun K. Vijayan has also imposed a temporary ban on the use of drones, paragliders, hot air balloons, and other unmanned aerial vehicles within a five-kilometre radius of Kannur International Airport. The restriction will be in effect for three days starting the morning of July 11. The order, issued under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, does not apply to police, the Air Force, SPG, or paramilitary forces.
