Kochi: Kerala will soon have a law for resolution of disputes in the film industry, said Governor P. Sathasivam. Delivering the customary policy address to the State Assembly this morning, the Governor said the law would be framed based on the recommendations of the Adoor Gopalakrishnan Committee.

The Governor said the Tourism Department would come out with a 'Safe Kerala' app to help tourists to reach out to nearest police stations and the online communication system of the department.
