A legal challenge has been filed in the Kerala High Court against the Lakshadweep Administration's order designating every Wednesday as a "No Vehicle Day" across the Union Territory, a move intended to promote public health and reduce emissions. The petitioner, an advocate and resident of Kalpeni Island, argues that the blanket weekly ban, effective from February 25th and imposing a ₹500 fine for violations except for essential services and persons with disabilities, infringes upon fundamental rights including freedom of movement and personal liberty. The petition contends the order lacks a rational basis, hinders professional duties requiring travel, and could create significant logistical challenges for arriving passengers, including vulnerable groups, and disrupt the supply of essential goods.
