This announcement was made by District Collector Dinesan Cheruvat on Wednesday, just days after a family of four became stranded 150 feet above ground in a sky-dining restaurant when a technical issue occurred with the crane supporting them.
The family, which included two young children, was subsequently rescued by fire and rescue teams.
Following this incident, a case was filed against the operators of a sky-dining restaurant situated in Anachal.
The First Information Report (FIR) indicates that the restaurant was functioning without regard for public safety.

The case has been registered under section 125 (endangering human lives) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and section 118(e) (acts that pose a danger to public safety) of the Kerala Police Act.
A stop memo was issued to the restaurant after it was discovered that it was operating without a license from the local civic body.
Cheruvat stated on Wednesday during a television interview that the establishment had not yet submitted the necessary documents regarding the permissions required from various authorities for such operations.
“They need permissions from the Revenue department, fire and rescue, electrical wing, and even the panchayat,” he remarked.
The Collector further noted that the sky-dining restaurant began operations in October, and if the Adventure Tourism authority permitted them to function without all required permissions, “then it was erroneous.”
“I will request a report from them about that,” he added.
In the long run, after the local body elections conclude, a comprehensive list will be compiled of all such establishments in each panchayat of the district, and any that are operating without the necessary permissions will be prohibited from functioning, Cheruvat affirmed.
