Missing Muslim youths from Kasaragod had opened anti-IS Facebook page!

Kasaragod, Jul 14: Even as reports are emerging on the missing families from Kasaragod and Palakkad migrating to northern Syria, investigations by various Intelligence agencies have not obtained any solid lead to validate the theory.

facebook“We are yet to come across any movement of families between Kerala and Syria for preaching Islamic orthodoxy,'' said a top intelligence officer. A Facebook page Olivin Charathu,' reported to have been opened by the missing persons, has been under active surveillance of the Intelligence agencies.

Interestingly, the Facebook page has openly declared its stance against Islamic State (IS) terror group. “In fact, we are not sure whether it is the same person who opened this page or somebody else,'' the official said.

Meanwhile, the investigators received more complaints about individuals missing from their families under suspicious circumstances. The sleuths launched a probe into the missing of a young woman from Andipillykkavu near North Paravur.

The woman, who had been married off to Varappuzha about six months ago, had left her family later and embraced Islam. As part of the investigation, sleuths met the woman's parents and her former husband to collect their statements.

Official sources said the State police had originally began collecting details about missing persons in Kerala from January this year, based on a warning on youths from Kerala being recruited to terror groups.

NIA deciphering WhatsApp messages

Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in New Delhi held a meeting on Tuesday to take stock of the situation in the wake of rumours over IS recruitments in Kerala.

The meeting, chaired by Intelligence Bureau Director Dineshwar Sharma, also saw Intelligence chiefs from other States sharing information reportedly relating to modules in the country with suspected IS links.

Kerala's Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) R. Sreelekha , who attended the one-day session, shared intelligence inputs from the State in this regard, the sources said.

According to sources, Central intelligence agencies have now begun deciphering the Telegram and WhatsApp messages received or are still being received by relatives from the missing youths.

Sources said that the Central agencies are now examining whether the disappearance of 22 persons, mainly from Kasaragod and Palakkad districts, was similar to other cases involving IS handlers in identification, radicalisation, recruitment, training and finally transferring Indian youths to countries such as Syria, Libya and Iraq.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: The Karnataka government would provide Rs 10,000 immediate relief to families affected by heavy rains and flooding in districts across coastal, central and southern areas of the state, an official said on Thursday.

"Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has directed all the Deputy Commissioners in the rain-cum-flood-hit districts to provide Rs 10,000 interim relief to the affected families and Rs 5 lakh to those whose houses were completely damaged in the natural disaster," a Revenue Department official told media persons here.

As the south-west monsoon advanced and intensified, heavy and widespread rains with gusty winds have been lashing 12 of the 30 districts across the state, wreaking havoc and disrupting normal life due to flooding, landslides, lakes and ponds overflowing, and rivers and their tributaries in the spate.

"The Chief Minister also instructed the officials to make use schools, colleges and public places as relief centres to shelter the rain-cum-flood-hit families, as hostels and community halls have been converted into Covid care centres in the affected districts," said the official.

The affected districts have also been advised to conduct a survey of crop loss suffered by farmers for compensation under the centrally-sponsored Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and the Weather Based Crop Insurance Schemes.

Deputy Commissioners have been told to take preventive measures to protect and provide relief to the people from heavy rains, floods and landslides in the affected districts.

"Yediyurappa also directed ministers in-charge of the districts to remain in their constituency and visit the affected areas to assess damage caused by the rains and flash floods for compensation and relief aid," noted the official.

The Chief Minister on Wednesday announced Rs 50 crore for rescue and relief operations in the affected districts across the state.

Meanwhile, the Meteorological department has issued a red alert on heavy rains in the affected districts of Kodagu, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttar Kannada in the coastal region and in Shivamoga, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan and Haveri in the Malnad region.

"Bagamandala in Kodagu district where Cauvery river springs near Talakaveri received a whopping 486 mm rain during the last 24 hours, causing flash floods and disrupting normal life as offices, shops and eateries remained shut and public transport was affected," added the official.

The water-level in Cauvery and Lakshmanatheertha is flowing at high level while the Sayi layout and Kuvempu layout Kushalnagar is inundated and the affected residents were shifted to safer location.

Bengaluru, Jul 9: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Thursday said the Covid-19 situation was “getting out of control a little” in some parts of the state, but assured citizens that authorities were taking necessary steps. 

“In some districts, it’s getting out of control a little. But the district administration and police are working day and night,” Yediyurappa said before the Cabinet meeting where the Covid-19 situation will be discussed. 

Speculation is rife that the government might consider stricter measures to curb the movement of people to try arresting the rising number of Covid-19 cases. 

Later in the day, Yediyurappa is slated to inspect the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre, which has been converted into a Covid Care Centre with 10,000 beds. The chief minister said he had ordered “immediate” arrangement of more ambulances for Bengaluru, where cases are rapidly shooting up. 

“A team from the Centre had come. They’ve made some observations and they also appreciated us for some of the things we’ve done,” he added. 

On Friday, Yediyurappa has convened a meeting of all Bengaluru ministers, legislators, MPs and councillors to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic in the city.

Mysuru, Mar 13: A state-of-the-art viral research laboratory in the city has been identified as one of the testing laboratories for the detection of COVID-19, official sources said here on Friday.

The samples of suspected cases could be sent to the lab for analysis and it would take about three hours to get the results.

The Viral Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (VRDL), which was set up from Central grants and functions at the Microbiology Department of K.R. Hospital, has been authorised to carry out the tests. This lab in Mysuru is among the 52-plus laboratories in the country.

Though the VRDL is equipped to carry out the tests, the sole authority of confirming the virus lies with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)-National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune. VRDL is also the sole agency for collection and transportation of suspected samples of COVID-19 to NIV.

VRDL, which is part of the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, functions on the advice of NIV.

According to the guidelines issued by ICMR, the results of the tests done here have to be shared with NIV the same day and the labs are not supposed to disclose the results since the NIV is the only authority to declare positive cases. Also, confirmation from the NIV should be awaited in case the samples test negative for COVID-19. The ICMR, in the guidelines made available on its website, has advised clinicians at labs to isolate the patient tested positive for COVID-19 in the identified facility and follow bio-safety precautions.

VRDL is a part of a network of labs established by the Department of Health Research, Government of India. The rise in the number of viral outbreaks and the resultant mortality had been cited as key reasons for the launch of network of such hi-tech labs in the country.

The NIV and the National Centre for Disease Control, Delhi, are the top laboratories for the network, while the National Institute of Epidemiology, Chennai, is the supervising authority for the data generated by the network of labs, sources added.
