Around five tourists and service staff are stuck in the recently opened 'sky dining' restaurant in Munnar's Anachal for more than 2 hours. The facility by 'Southern Skies Aerodynamics' is at an altitude of 120 feet. The project was launched a few months ago as part of Idukki's adventure tourism initiative. The tourists stuck on top are reportedly from Kannur. Apparently, the restaurant can hold up to 16 people at a time. The operators say they couldn't lower it as the crane's hydraulic lever stopped working.

A fire force unit has left from Munnar for Anachal, according to the latest reports. A private individual owns the facility. The restaurant says tourists can also be brought down via ropes, and that they need not worry. Meanwhile, Idukki Collector Dr Dinesan Cheruvat told Manorama News, "In half an hour, the tourists will be brought down. The equipment that lifts the restaurant got stuck, according to the information I received. However, we are not waiting for it to be fixed, but will find ways to bring the tourists down in a short while. Currently, there is no need to panic."
