Kozhikode
Just when Kozhikode has been basking in the glory of its recently earned India’s first UNESCO City of Literature tag, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has named this coastal city in north Kerala among the nation’s top 10 safest cities.
Making the city the only one from Kerala in the category, Kozhikode, an aspiring metropolis, has been ranked 10th on the list recording 395.5 cases of cognisable offences per lakh people in 2022. Kolkata holds the title with 78.2 cognisable cases.
