claKasargod, October 9: At least nine persons were injured in clashes erupted between Communist Party of India (CPI-M) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers at Kumbla on Sunday.

Two CPI(M) workers were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the incident.

The police said there was an incident involving BJP and CPI(M) workers returning from the annual 'Gramotsav' at nearby Bambrana Bayal.

The injured had been admitted to hospitals in Mangalore and at the Pariyaram medical college hospital.

The CPI(M) workers said they were attacked after they questioned, what they termed, attempts by BJP workers to communalise the mass sporting event.

However, the BJP workers alleged that the trouble started after a BJP worker was attacked by a group of CPI(M) workers on Sunday morning.

The CPI(M) workers re-grouped again in the evening and attacked the BJP workers.

The police registered cases against two CPI (M) workers under Section 307 and 308 of the IPC. A police team, led by Kumbla Circle Inspector T.P. Ranjith, carried out raids on a few houses last night in connection with the incident.

The police enhanced security in the town to prevent untoward incidents.

An all-party meeting was chaired by Mr. Ranjith to restore normality in the area.

Bengaluru, May 26: Ministers of the central government or state governments or officers on their official duty, who are travelling across states, will be exempted from requirements of quarantine, the Karnataka government said on Monday.

The state government issued an addendum to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inter-state passengers.

"Any person who gets a negative COVID test certificate (from ICMR approved lab) which is not more than two days old from the date of journey will be exempted from the requirement of institutional quarantine," read the addendum.

The state government has laid down new norms for those coming from other states (including those coming by domestic air flights).

Passengers coming from 'high prevalence states' (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh) would be required to undergo a seven-day "institutional quarantine", which will be followed by home quarantine.

The new norms also said that home quarantine of 14 days would be necessary for the passengers coming from other states.
