Police in the southern Indian state of Kerala say they will not allow couples to kiss in public to protest against alleged harassment by Hindu groups.

The "kiss of love" protest was planned after Hindu activists vandalised a cafe in Calicut city last week saying students were using the place to date.

Activists say they will gather at the Marine Drive in Kochi (formerly Cochin) city on Sunday and kiss in protest.

Dating and public displays of affection are still largely taboo in India.

"A formal request for permission [to hold the protest] is yet to reach me," Kochi Police Commissioner KG James told the BBC.
"But I have told them they cannot kiss publicly and create a law and order situation. We are not going to allow this," he added.
