Defence PRO 1st woman to trek Agasthyarkoodam after HC order
K Dhanya Sanal, a Defence Ministry spokesperson, has become the first woman to trek 1,868-metre-high Agasthyarkoodam peak since the Kerala High Court lifted an unofficial ban on women trekkers. The 38-year-old was among the 100 people who started the trek on Monday morning. "I'll take the pathway... not go into prohibited areas and hurt the sentiments of tribals," she said.
