Rahul assures best legal help to counter night traffic ban

Wayanad (Kerala): Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday visited his constituency Wayanad to show solidarity with the protesters opposing night traffic ban on the national highway passing through Bandipur Tiger Reserve in Kerala.
Wayanad has been witnessing protests for the past 10 days to allow night travel through the Bandipur Tiger Reserve. The state government too is in favour of removing the travel ban on National Highway 766 between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Rahul Gandhi arrived at the protest venue in Sulthan Bathery near hear and spend 45 minutes with the protestors. While addressing them, he assured them of engaging country’s top lawyers to fight the case in Supreme Court.
“The thoughts of all the people are here at the protest venue. All political parties are united in this protest and there is no political difference.
“This issue has to be resolved and it has to be done in an intelligent way. A solution is possible as this has been achieved in other parts of the country, so in all fairness Wayanad also should get that.
“Now this is in the Supreme Court. I have also spoken to our legal experts and have asked for help. I assure all of you that the best legal resources in the country would be employed,” said Rahul Gandhi.
