Authorities in Kerala's Ernakulam district have identified nearly 70 abandoned stone quarries that pose significant safety risks to local residents. The district administration is currently cataloging these sites to implement safety measures following a series of fatal drowning accidents.
Nearly one kilometre from Seaport-Airport Road, along Irumpanam-Eroor Road lies a vast pond, almost hidden from public view. Surrounded by green, overgrown flora and filled with deep stagnant water, the pond masks one of the oldest stone quarries in the district.
