‘Religious radicalization’, extremism to dominate top cops meet

Kasaragod, Aug 27: Cybersecurity, alleged religious radicalization, and Left extremism are likely to be important areas of focus when police chiefs of five southern States convene here for a crucial meeting on August 30.

Kerala Police Chief Loknath Behera will host the meeting which is viewed as a precursor to a nationwide conclave of State Police Chiefs to be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November.

The SPCs of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana are scheduled to attend the closed door conference. They are expected to cobble together broad policing strategies to be presented to the Prime Minister.

Senior officials privy to the preparations said Kerala had its own basket of troubling law and order concerns.

NIA sources claimed that Kerala’s highly educated workforce had of late become a magnet for Islamic State (IS) recruiters seeking to enlist professionals to what they call global jihadist cause.

NIA also claim that IS’ online mobilisers had persuaded at least 21 families from north Kerala to the IS in Afghanistan in 2016. There were disturbing reports that some of them were killed in military action. The police feel that the “deceptive work” of such organisations would only widen schism between faiths.

Cybersecurity is also on the top of the conclave’s agenda, especially in the wake of the “ransomware threat” that locked out individual users and crucial services across the globe. The State law enforcement’s cybercrime research unit, Kerala Police Cyberdome, is likely to be heard out by the police chiefs.

Another top priority for the State police is to deny an operational base for armed Left extremists in forested areas in north Kerala. (The police had shot dead two armed Maoists in Nilambur forest.)

 The State police are already involved in joint operations with their counterparts to prevent armed Maoist irregulars from dominating the forested area known as the northern tri-junction of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Wednesday urged Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to waive all property taxes in urban local and rural panchayats for a period of one year as citizens are bearing a huge financial brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "Citizens are bearing a huge financial brunt of the Corona Pandemic. It's imperative on the government to ease the financial burden on citizens. I urge CM B.S. Yediyurappa to waive all property taxes, in urban local bodies and rural panchayats, for a period of one year on humanitarian grounds."
In yet another demand, Shivakumar on Tuesday said the state government should give details of the amount it spent on migrants and labourers during the coronavirus crisis if it is transparent.

"The image of Karnataka has come to a very rotten position. We all know that Karnataka has failed in sorting out the problem. Let them (the state government) tell what has been the amount spent on the labour, migrants and food kits on the health department. We want an account (of the expenditure) if they are so transparent," Shivakumar said.

He said the state government should have approached the hospitals for treating COVID-19 patients and if any private hospital refused, a message should have been given that the government would take it over.

He also accused the state government of corruption.
