Tourism Rocky racket Shaju John
A farmer drinks water from one of the several freshwater bodies on Neetikkotta parai (rock) in Kuttiadi near Kozhikode. The 200-acre-wide, 600-foot-high rock, which served as a hideout for Pazhassi Raja and Tippu Sultan of Mysore during their battles against the British, is now in danger of being ravaged by illegal quarries started by a construction group. Local people fear severe ecological problems from the illegal quarries. The rock formation, which is a tourist attraction, has several caves and perennial water bodies and is home to rare species of birds, wild animals and medicinal herbs.
