Kerala govt orders fresh vigilance probe into 2006 case linked to CEC Gyanesh Kumar

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 4 (IANS) Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Sunday ordered a fresh Vigilance inquiry into allegations involving Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during his tenure as the states Public Works Department Secretary, following a petition submitted by Congress leader Malayinkeezhu Venugopal. The case relates to Malaysian civil engineer Lee See Been, who died by suicide in Kuala Lumpur in November 2006 after returning from Kerala. He was associated with the PATI-BEL consortium engaged in upgrading MC Road under the Kerala State Transport Project (KSTP). The engineers purported suicide note reportedly named Kumar, who was serving as PWD Secretary at the time. The case concerns alleged irregularities associated with the project and claims that external pressure derailed the preliminary Vigilance inquiry conducted in 2006. Acting on the allegations, the state Home Department has sought all relevant files relating to the earlier inquiry by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB). The records will be examined to assess how the original proceedings were handled and whether outside influence affected their course. According to the state Home Ministers Office, Chennithala has directed the Vigilance Director to conduct a thorough inquiry into the allegations of interference and take appropriate action based on the findings. The minister said the allegations of external influence were serious and warranted a detailed investigation. The renewed scrutiny will focus on the circumstances in which the preliminary inquiry was conducted and the handling of the allegations raised at the time. Lee worked with the consortium entrusted with upgrading MC Road, a major component of the Kerala State Transport Project. His death subsequently became linked to allegations surrounding the administration and execution of the road improvement works. Venugopals petition forms the basis for the latest government intervention. The fresh inquiry follows allegations that the earlier examination was derailed by external pressure, prompting the state Home Department to seek the records for renewed scrutiny. The reported mention of Kumar in the purported suicide note remains a matter requiring investigation. Neither that reported reference nor the announcement of a fresh inquiry establishes wrongdoing by him. Further action will depend on the Vigilance findings. The governments immediate direction is to retrieve the records, examine the allegations of interference and determine whether the original proceedings were compromised before deciding what additional steps are warranted.

TN ministerial team to visit Kerala on Monday for Anamalayar-Nallaru project talks

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 4 (IANS) A delegation of Tamil Nadu ministers is expected to travel to Kerala on Monday to continue discussions on the Anamalayar-Nallaru project, a longstanding demand of farmers seeking improved irrigation facilities in Coimbatore, Tiruppur and Erode districts. According to reports, the delegation will comprise state Water Resources Minister Anand, Revenue Minister Sengottaiyan, Public Welfare Minister Arunraj and Tourism Minister Rajesh Kumar. The ministers are expected to meet Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and the states Irrigation Minister to discuss the proposed project and its implementation. The visit, scheduled for October 5, is intended to carry forward discussions between the two states. However, the report does not specify the meeting venue, the detailed agenda or whether any formal agreement is expected during the talks. Farmers in the three western Tamil Nadu districts have long sought implementation of the Anamalayar-Nallaru project to strengthen irrigation facilities. Their demand forms the central backdrop to the proposed ministerial visit, which will bring the issue before Keralas political leadership. The delegations discussions are expected to focus on the projects implementation. The available information does not indicate whether the ministers will present a revised proposal, seek specific clearances or discuss a timetable for further negotiations. With the Water Resources Minister forming part of the delegation, the proposed meeting will provide an opportunity for direct discussions on the irrigation initiative. The participation of three other ministers also places the visit within a broader ministerial engagement between Tamil Nadu and Kerala. For farmers awaiting progress, the immediate significance of the visit lies in the continuation of discussions on a demand that has remained pending for years. The outcome will depend on what the two sides agree to take forward after their meeting. No details have been provided on the projects estimated cost, funding arrangements, construction schedule or the envisaged irrigation coverage. The report also does not mention any decision already reached between the two governments on these aspects. The planned visit, therefore, represents another round of discussions on the proposal. Whether it produces a concrete decision, a further meeting or additional examination of the project will become clear only after the talks. The focus now turns to Mondays expected meeting with CM Satheesan and the Irrigation Minister, as Tamil Nadu seeks to advance discussions on the farmers longstanding irrigation demand.

Kerala to open five global foreign investment desks: CM Satheesan

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 3 (IANS) Kerala government will set up Kerala Desks in five major global cities to attract foreign investment and tap the states diaspora network, said the Chief Minister on Saturday. The desks will be opened in Dubai, London, New York, Singapore and Tokyo. The government has given in-principle approval for the proposal. It is part of the states 100-day action plan. The move aims to change Keralas approach to the diaspora. The focus will shift from remittances to investment and business engagement. The desks will connect the government with NRK organisations, Kerala-origin business persons and potential investors in these cities. They will identify potential investors and investment proposals. These leads will be referred to the Invest Kerala Cell of KSIDC for further action through its single-window system. The desks will also provide information on investment opportunities in their respective countries. They will track investment trends and regulatory changes that could be relevant to Kerala. The government has decided to implement the scheme without any financial burden on the state. Each desk will be hosted by a recognised NRK organisation already functioning in the respective city. The organisations will provide the support on an honorary and voluntary basis. The Invest Kerala Cell will provide the institutional framework. It will also provide branding, coordination and technical support. The KSIDC managing director has been directed to identify suitable NRK organisations in the five cities and formalise cooperation with them. The scope of work and reporting system for each desk will also be finalised. The government said the initiative would make use of the existing business and professional networks of the Malayali diaspora across the Gulf, Europe, North America and East Asia. The desks will act as an overseas link between Kerala and potential investors. The government expects them to generate investment leads and strengthen Keralas efforts to attract foreign capital.
