Don't shift Coast Guard Academy, Pinarayi writes to PM

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 8: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi against the move to shift the proposed Coast Guard Academy in Kannur district to Mangaluru in Karnataka.

The Centre should drop such an "unjustified move" that is against Kerala's interests, Vijayan said in a letter to Modi.

The state government has already transferred 164 acres of land for the academy, besides spending about Rs 65.56 crore for providing infrastructure facilities, he said.

Pointing out that the area of Irinive in Kannur district was a rich storehouse of mangrove cultivation, the Union environment and forest ministry had declined permission for construction activities.

The chief minister said that about 50 acres of land, where there is no mangrove cultivation, is available for constructing the academy.

In such circumstances, the prime minister should send a special team from the ministry to visit the area and take the necessary steps to give clearance for the project, he said.

Better to shift to somewhere. Central govt acquired land for naval academy in kannur, near to my place. Year by year they are acquiring more. We cant go freely. They are restricted to go some area including some parts which are not included their academy. Privacy issue, drainage issue, water scarcity everything arises only becuase of them.

Bengaluru, Jan 22: JD(S) president HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday termed the surrender of the accused in the alleged planting of an explosive at Mangalore Airport as another act of a drama and said that the incident should serve as an Eye-opener for the Prime minister Narendra Modi over the prevailing unemployment problem in the country.

Addressing a press conference, the Janta Dal (Secular) leader said that the surrendered man, who had allegedly planted explosive at the airport, was an employed youth and PM needs to address the prevailing unemployment problem in the country.

The former chief minister said that the accused have higher education qualifications and belonged to the Hindu community, disapproving that only people belonging to the Muslim community resort to violence.
