Kerala always occupied cherished place in nation's history: PM Modi on Foundation Day

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday wished the people of Kerala on the state's Foundation Day and hailed their contributions across various sectors, including healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, and science. The Prime Minister said that Kerala's greatest strength lies in its people, who have also made the nation proud. Kerala Foundation Day, or Kerala Piravi (meaning 'Birth of Kerala'), is celebrated every year on November 1. It was created under the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, which unified Malayalam-speaking regions of the former princely states of Travancore and Cochin with the Malabar district (under British rule) and Kasaragod. In a post on X, PM Modi said, Keralappiravi greetings to my sisters and brothers of Keralam! This special day celebrates the vibrant traditions and extraordinary spirit of Keralam. Blessed with abundant natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage, the state has always occupied a cherished place in our nation's history. Keralam's greatest strength lies in its people, whose dedication and commitment to excellence have earned admiration far beyond India's shores. The achievements of the people of Keralam in several areas like healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, science and several other fields have made the nation proud, he said. I hope the coming years bring new opportunities, greater prosperity and continued progress to every person of Keralam, the Prime Minister added. Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan also took to social media and extended warm greetings to the people of the state on the occasion. Kerala is completing seven successful decades. It is with the strength of the achievements and lessons learned in various fields during this period that we are leaping into the new era, he said. The government is moving forward with the vision of compassionate governance. Along with development, what we need is a system of governance that looks after every individual's life and struggles with care. The coming 5 years are a very important phase that will determine Kerala's future. With the strength honed by experiences, let us walk hand in hand towards the new era of Kerala, the Chief Minister added.

Vizhinjam port receives 1st import container

Thiruvananthapuram: The Vizhinjam International Seaport on Saturday received its first import container, marking a significant step towards emerging as a direct gateway for imports into Kerala, port authorities said.The container, booked from Ningbo in China, arrived aboard the vessel MSC Sabrina III.The flag-off ceremony of the first import container was performed by Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd Managing Director Jeromic George, according to an official statement.The container was booked by Thiruvananthapuram-based startup BSG Logistics and Ship Chandlers Pvt Ltd on behalf of the city's Altair Group. It carries engineered building boards used in the construction sector as an alternative to conventional plywood.With the commencement of import operations, goods can now be directly unloaded at Vizhinjam, undergo customs clearance and be transported to markets across Kerala.This is expected to reduce dependence on other ports and cut down the time and cost involved in cargo movement, authorities said.The new facility will also help retain revenue generated from cargo handling and logistics-related activities within the state, instead of such business flowing to other ports.It is also expected to generate employment opportunities in Thiruvananthapuram and other southern districts in areas such as customs brokerage, freight forwarding, transportation, warehousing and port-related operations.The commencement of direct import services marks an important expansion of Vizhinjam's role beyond transshipment operations, positioning it as a port catering directly to the import requirements of businesses in Kerala, the authorities added.

'Gift of the gab': Kerala Speaker Radhakrishnan steals the Assembly show

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 31 (IANS) In the Kerala Assembly, the Chief Minister has the power, the Leader of the Opposition has the mandate to challenge him, but the man who has emerged as the star of the show is neither of them. It is Speaker Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, whose greatest asset appears to be his gift of the gab. As the nine-day second session of the 16th Kerala Assembly ended on Thursday, the 77-year-old Speaker had plenty to smile about. He managed to keep the House in order, deftly handle seasoned political heavyweights, including Leader of the Opposition and former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, and guide nearly half the 140-member House members who are first-time legislators. Radhakrishnan does it with a mix of firmness, humour and a remarkable ability to find the right words at the right moment. Interestingly, becoming Speaker was not what the veteran party leader had originally set his eye on. He had hoped for a ministerial berth with a heavyweight portfolio. But when that did not materialise, he was persuaded to take the Speaker's chair. It now appears to have been a happy political turn. Popularly known simply as Thiruvanchoor, after his home region near Kottayam, he has had a steady rise through the Congress ranks, beginning in student politics and later leading the party's student and youth wings. Now in his eighth term as an MLA, his only electoral setback came in his debut contest in 1987, when he lost to veteran CPI-M leader T.K. Ramakrishnan in Kottayam. With Oommen Chandy then the undisputed political heavyweight in the district, he shifted to Adoor, representing the constituency for four consecutive terms from 1991. When Adoor became a reserved constituency in 2011, he returned to Kottayam and has since won four successive elections there. Radhakrishnan's ministerial career saw him handle several departments, including Home. It was during his tenure that the close aide of then Chief Minister Oommen Chandy was arrested in the Solar scam, triggering a political storm as Chandy was away in Bahrain to receive a prestigious UN public service award. Radhakrishnan also has a reputation for cryptic humour. When former Union Minister and senior bureaucrat K.J. Alphons once asked him which portfolio he held after Chandy gave the Home portfolio to Ramesh Chennithala and had added several departments to keep him happy, his reply was instant: I am the Minister of Akkiri a Malayalam expression for things of little value or leftovers. His stint as Cinema Minister also gave social media plenty of ammunition when he stumbled over the names of film personalities while reading them out at public functions. He was not amused by the trolling. Today, from the Speaker's chair, he has the last word, quite literally. He can crack a joke one moment and firmly wield the rod of discipline the next. The Assembly is traditionally a busier place under Congress-led governments, with legislators, visitors and party workers filling its corridors and coffee shops. Radhakrishnan has so far resisted the temptation to impose an iron hand, earning goodwill across the House. At an age when many politicians begin slowing down, he seems to have found his ideal stage. And in this Assembly, his gift of the gab is proving to be as effective as the Speaker's gavel.

Anti-Maoist forces take centre stage at Ekta Diwas parade; tribal performers present Naxal-free India

Digital Desk | Ekta Nagar, Oct 31 (IANS) Anti-Naxal units from across the country showcased their role in operations against Left-wing extremism at the Rashtriya Ekta Diwas parade in Ekta Nagar on Saturday, while a subsequent National School of Drama production brought tribal artists from several formerly Maoist-affected states to the national stage. The parade, held to mark the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, featured specialised forces from Bihar, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Telangana and West Bengal, along with units of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Chhattisgarh Police. The contingents marched past the gathering as officials outlined their deployment areas, operations and personnel who had died in the line of duty. Among the units was Bihar Polices Special Task Force. The announcer said the force operated in 22 districts, including Gaya, Jamui and Lakhisarai, and had killed 167 Naxalites, arrested 7,191 and secured the surrender of 371. PM Modi and officials also paid tribute to 191 personnel who had died. The Sashastra Seema Bal contingent, led by Assistant Commandant Vipin Sharma, was credited with killing 16 Naxalites, arresting 1,382 and recovering 536 kg of explosives. Other contingents included Jharkhands Jaguar, Karnatakas Anti-Naxal Force, Kerala Polices Special Operations Group, Madhya Pradeshs Hawk Force and Odishas Special Operations Group. Maharashtras C-60 commandos, whose strength was described as having grown from seven personnel to 1,100, were credited with killing 372 Naxalites, securing 861 surrenders and making 559 arrests. Telanganas Greyhounds, described as a specialised force of 1,250 commandos, were also part of the parade. The announcer highlighted their operations in the Karegutta hills. The parade also featured West Bengal Polices Counter Insurgency Force, the National Cadet Corps and a CRPF-led dog squad. The latter comprised sniffer dogs trained to detect explosives and assist in identifying ambush-related threats. The event concluded this segment with a National School of Drama production titled Naxal-free India. Conceived, written and directed by NSD director Chittaranjan Tripathi, the presentation traced the movements beginnings in Naxalbari in West Bengal in 1967 and the subsequent efforts to restore peace in areas affected by Left-wing extremism. Its performers included NSD repertory artists and tribal artists from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Odisha. The announcer said several had travelled from their villages carrying their languages, songs and folk traditions to perform on a national platform. The presentation sought to place the experiences and cultural identities of communities from conflict-affected regions alongside the security forces account of the campaign against Naxalism.

Kerala court raps police over social media posts revealing minor's identity in hit-and-run case

Digital Desk | Kochi, Oct 31 (IANS) A Kerala sessions court on Saturday questioned the police for failing to act against social media posts revealing the identity of the 17-year-old boy accused in the Mercedes-Benz accident that killed a 55-year-old scooterist in Kochi last week. Ernakulam Additional District and Sessions Judge Kavitha Gangadharan directed the cyber police to submit a report on the action taken against such social media posts. The court also expressed serious doubts about the investigation and sought the case diary before deciding whether to cancel the bail granted to the teenager. I will pass an order directing the cyber police to take down every social media account and post that is revealing the identity of the child in conflict with law. This is a sessions court and a children's court. Why does the cyber police exist? How can this be allowed? the judge asked. The court directed the investigating officer to appear with the case diary on November 2. The prosecution and the family of the deceased have approached the sessions court seeking cancellation of the bail granted to the boy by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) on October 26. The teenager, son of an additional district judge, was allegedly driving a Mercedes-Benz car when it hit a scooter on Container Road at Cheranalloor in the early hours of October 25. The rider, Jayabalakrishnan, 55, died in the accident. The police initially booked the boy for rash driving and causing death by negligence and released him on station bail. Following protests by the victim's family and local residents, more serious charges, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, were added. His father was also named as a co-accused. During Saturday's hearing, the judge questioned why the police wanted the teenager's bail cancelled in the name of investigation. She asked what further evidence required his custody and why the investigating officer had not approached the JJB for permission to conduct a custodial interview, if necessary. The judge said she wanted to examine the investigation records and hear the investigating officer before taking a decision on the bail cancellation pleas. The case will be heard again on Monday. On Saturday, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala and Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan visited the home of the deceased.
