Kerala man files complaint over noisy rooster crowing at 3 am
Pathanamthitta (Kerala), Feb 19 (PTI): In the quiet village of Pallickal in Kerala's Pathanamthitta district, a battle was brewing--not over land or money, but over a rooster's morning routine.
For Radhakrishna Kurup, an elderly person, a peaceful night's sleep had become impossible.
Reason: Every morning at 3 am, his neighbour's rooster would begin its relentless crowing, making it difficult for him to sleep and disrupting his peaceful life.
Kurup, unwell, had had enough. He filed a complaint at the Adoor Revenue Divisional Office (RDO) against his neighbour Anil Kumar's rooster, claiming it was disrupting his sleep.
Officials took the complaint seriously. The RDO launched an investigation, treating the rooster as the cause of the problem.
Both Kurup and Kumar were called in to discuss the issue, and officials later inspected the site.
It was found that the neighbour kept his roosters on the upper floor of his house.
The investigation confirmed that the crowing was indeed disturbing Kurup.
To resolve the matter, the RDO ordered the neighbour to move the poultry shed from the upper floor to the southern side of the property.
The officials set a deadline of 14 days for the relocation.

Four booked for tying 18-year-old to tree, beating him up in UP's Pratapgarh
Pratapgarh (UP) (PTI): Four people were booked here for the abduction and assault of a man who they allegedly tied to a tree and beat up, police said on Wednesday.
The incident, a video of which has gone viral, took place on Tuesday afternoon under the Kunda police station limits.
The FIR was registered on Wednesday evening based on a complaint from the victim's father.
According to Keshav Prasad Yadav, a resident of Mauli village, some people called his 18-year-old son Nikhil Yadav on the phone and asked him to come out of his house around 2.30 pm on Tuesday.
As he reached outside the village as instructed, the accused allegedly forced him into a car and took him towards the Tinpedwa forest area, where they tied him to a tree and assaulted, the complainant said.
The attackers also recorded a video of the incident and circulated it on social media. The purported video shows the men thrashing Nikhil one after another, while one of them is assumed to have recorded the act.
Kunda Station House Officer Manoj Pandey confirmed the incident and said efforts are underway to identify and arrest all the accused.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has shared the video on social media, describing the incident as reflective of a "dominant mindset" against the PDA (Pichda or Backward, Dalit, and Alpasankhyak or Minority), and demanded strict action against the accused.
