Kannur, Mar 24: A country-made bomb, which was hidden inside the compound of a house of a local RSS functionary, exploded prematurely at Naduvil under the Kudiyanmala police station limits in Kannur district of Kerala yesterday injuring at least two children.

The injured have been identified as Gokul, 7, son of RSS functionary M. Shibu, and his relative Kajinraj, 12, son of Kumar. They had come to their relative Shibu’s house where the incident occurred around 1.30 p.m.

The police said the children who suffered serious burns were admitted to a private hospital here.

According to the police, the crude bomb that was hidden beneath a heap of rubble on the compound of the house exploded when the two children were searching for some materials for making a bird cage.

“As soon as we got the information of the blast, we rushed to the spot and raided the house of Shibu,” Kudiyanmala sub-inspector P Pramod said when contacted over phone.

The police unearthed bomb-making materials, including 3 kg of aluminium powder, 600 gm of gunpowder and fuse wire, as also seven swords, a hand axe and an iron rod, he said.

The police suspect that Shibu’s house is being used as a place for hiding bombs, bomb-making materials and weapons. The police strengthened the vigil in the area in the wake of the incident.

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.

J C Madhuswamy, district in-charge minister, has instructed the district administration and the Animal Husbandry department to subject the sheep to Covid-19 tests.

The move followed after five sheep found dead in mysterious circumstances at the village. All 43 sheep of the infected person have been isolated from the herd and kept at a place in Jakkanahalli.

"There is no evidence that the sheep can contract Covid-19 and transmit the virus to the people. But since the virus has many strains and keep changing its genetic make-up, draw throat swab samples of the sheep and send the same to Covid-19 lab. Till the report comes, keep the livestock in isolation," Madhuswamy told the officials.
