Bekal to host Mani Ratnam, Manisha Koirala for Bombay anniversery
KASARAGOD: Bekal, one of the best-preserved forts of Kerala, has appeared in more than 50 films. Yet, it was Tamil song Uyire Tu Hi Re in Hindi from the Mani Ratnam-directorial Bombay (1995) that put it on the tourism map of the cine world. So, it is only fitting that Bekal host the 30th anniversary reunion of the acclaimed Tamil flick. The Bekal Resorts Development Corporation (BRDC) is organising the geet-together at Bekal Beach on December 20. The films director Mani Ratnam, lead actor Manisha Koirala and cinematographer Rajiv Menon, who captured the forts beauty in the monsoon, would participate in the event. Bombay was the first movie to popularise Bekal in a grand manner. We are conducting Bombay Reunion to reintroduce Bekal as the centre of cinema tourism, said BRDC MD Shijin Parambath. The decision to invite Mani Ratnam to Bekal was taken at the BRDC board meeting in August. Interestingly, this year also marks the 30th anniversary of BRDC. The 17th century fort gained prominence after the Union government in 1992 identified Bekal as one of the five Special Tourism Zones in the country to be developed for beach-based tourism. Puri in Odisha, Sindudurg in Maharashtra, Daman and Diu Islands and Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu were others. The state government formed BRDC to promote to develop tourism in and around Bekal. The corporation managed to develop three 5-star resorts out of the six proposed in the area while improving the tourism infrastructure around the fort. Bekal Fort was constructed by Keladi Nayakas, the feudal chieftains who ruled from Keladi (present day Shivamogga) in 1650. Hyder Ali took over when he invaded the Malabar region and his son Tipu Sultan fortified it with a watch tower. The fort faded into obscurity during the British Raj and remained one of the many ruined forts of Kasaragod district till the 1990s. Bombay features an inter-faith couple who are caught in the Bombay riots that followed the Babri Masjid demolition.

MUMBAI: Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Nitesh Rane on Thursday wondered why environmentalists opposing the felling of trees in Nashik ahead of Kumbh Mela were never seen opposing the slaughter of goats on Eid. Rane's remarks came amid protests by civil society members against the Nashik civic body's plan to cut down more than 1,700 trees in the Tapovan area to build a 'Sadhu Gram' (settlement for religious leaders) ahead of the Kumbh Mela, which will begin in October 2026. The environmental activists who oppose tree felling at Tapovan in Nashik, were never seen opposing goat sacrifice. All religions equal? Rane said in a post on X. Meanwhile, the Opposition NCP (SP) Lok Sabha member from Dindori in Nashik district, Bhaskar Bhagare, expressed disappointment over the proposed tree felling. We are already witnessing erratic rains, flooding and extreme weather conditions in the last few years. In such a situation, cutting down so many trees is unacceptable, he said, adding that he has written to Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on the issue. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said the government would ensure no harm to the environment. He said some people are trying to create hurdles for the Nashik Kumbh Mela, while certain individuals have suddenly become environmentalists for political reasons. Notably, actor Sayaji Shinde, a member of the Deputy CM Ajit Pawars NCP, which is part of the ruling coalition, has said he would oppose the government if it were adamant on removing the trees. Pawar on Wednesday called for a conciliatory approach to resolve the issue, saying that maintaining environmental balance is as important as development. Local Hindu organisations along with political parties have also joined the protests against the planned tree felling in the Tapovan area of Nashik. Activists of the Hindu Mahasabha recited the Hanuman Chalisa in Tapovan a few days back, while the supporters of some other Hindu organisations pasted posters with the slogan `Jai Shriram, Jai Hanuman' on the trees marked for removal by the Nashik Municipal Corporation. Some of them also invoked the local belief that Lord Ram and Sita lived in Tapovan during their exile, and called for protecting the trees for the sake of religious sentiments. School children staged demonstrations in Tapovan on Wednesday, carrying placards with pro-conservation messages. Local leaders and workers of the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also joined the agitation.
