A group led by Idukki MP Dean Kuriakose, Kothamangalam MLA Antony John and Kothamangalam former bishop Mar George Punnakottil had entered the forest on March 16, demanding that the road be opened. Forest officials booked the protesters for trespassing, saying they destroyed the cross bar erected to stop vehicles and damaged a forest vehicle parked in the area.
