A police vehicle that had been positioned outside Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's residence in Kannur has been removed following repeated mechanical failures that rendered it unusable. The vehicle, which had served as an informal station for security personnel, could not be started and had become a fixture at the CM's home for an extended period.
The decision to remove the non-functional vehicle was taken after it became apparent that repairs were not viable. Police authorities determined that maintaining an inoperable vehicle at the residence served no operational purpose and opted to withdraw it from the premises.
Despite the vehicle's removal, the security apparatus around Vijayan's Kannur residence remains fully operational. Police personnel continue to maintain their assigned protective duties at the location, ensuring that the removal of the makeshift station does not impact the overall security arrangements. The repositioning reflects standard protocol adjustments rather than any change in security protocols for the Chief Minister's residence.
