Kochi, Jul 5: Supporters of Kerala-based People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bengaluru blasts case, staged a protest at the Cochin International Airport after his arrival was delayed.

Madani, lodged in a Bengaluru prison in connection with the blasts that left one person dead and injured 20 others, has been granted bail to visit his ailing mother in Kollam district and he was to take an IndiGo flight on Monday morning in Bengaluru.

Authorities here said according to their information, the airline refused permission to Madani to board its flight after it was found that necessary requirements for carrying a prisoner escorted by the police were not fulfilled.

According to the police, around 500 supporters gathered outside the terminal here to receive him. A section of them turned agitated after reports said that IndiGo refused to allow Madani to board the flight citing “some technical reasons”. Amid the melee, the protesters broke a glass pane of the IndiGo airline's counter located at domestic departure area of the Cochin airport, they said. A police team headed by Aluva Rural SP P N Unnirajan rushed to the spot to deal with the situation. The protest ended after they got an assurance that Madani will reach by air later.

The police said no arrests have been made, but added cases will be registered against those who were involved in the violence. The police said they used force to push out the slogan-shouting supporters.

About 8.15pm, Madani arrived at the Cochin International Airport in an IndiGo flight to a spirited welcome by PDP activists, adds DHNS from Thiruvananthapuram. He left for his home in Anvarssery in Kollam by road.

Dear Hari your statement should be changed. Please check the history. First of all the temples in india built after demolishing Buddist temples. So do you give back all the temples to buddists? Regarding Babri Masjid, since more than 400 years the musjid was there. So how come it is possible? there was temple?

Mangaluru, May 17: Former health minister U T Khader demanded that the authorities carry out a scientific analysis of the five deaths that occurred due to Covid-19 in Dakshina Kannada. 

“The number of fatalities vis-à-vis the number of positive cases in the district is worrying, and the district administration and health department should not take the matter lightly. Lapses, if any, in dealing with the co-morbidity factors should be addressed, lest it become a major health challenge,” he warned.

Addressing reporters on Saturday, Khader, said only carrying out such types of analysis will help the health department combat the spread of the novel coronavirus in the future. “At present, the only data available with the health authorities here and in the state war room, is the number of people tested and number of positive cases,” Khader said.

“Any strategy to combat Covid-19 must be built around scientific analysis of causes of how the disease is spreading and to do so, concrete efforts must be made to find the source of the cluster at the First Neuro Hospital in Padil. A analysis of reasons that caused the deaths, will also come in handy for the authorities to prepare suitable advisories for the people, who in turn could take informed decisions,” Khader noted.
