Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 7: Violence in Kerala raged in on Monday, the fifth day of the clashes during which over 6,000 people have been arrested for their role in protests following the entry of women into the Sabarimala temple.

Police sources said, "About 2,182 cases were registered in connection with the crimes in which 894 were remanded and 5,817 released on bail."

Kerala witnessed several violent incidents after two women entered restricted sanctum sanctorum on Wednesday after Supreme Court's verdict on Sep 28, allowing the entry of women of all ages into the religious shrine.

In many districts including Kannur, clashes between CPI(M) and BJP workers continued as police planned to take more people into preventive custody.

The Sabarimala Karma Samiti has also pledged to intensify its protest against the breaking of age-old customs and traditions in the 12th century temple.

Why bjp is misuing Shivaji.   For your information, Shivaji was not communal.   His personal body guard was a Muslim and there wwere many muslim commanders in his army.   All were living peacefully in his regime as he never differentiated between religions.  It is fact that he fought with Mughal.   this does not mean that he was anti muslim.   IN those days, kings fought with neighbours to expand their kingdom.   BJP is misguiding Marathas by using Shivaji picture but not followig his footstep.

Kota, Jan 4: Following the death of an infant in the morning, the death toll in JK Lon Hospital here has risen to 107, officials said on Saturday.

A three-member state government committee of doctors, who was sent to investigate the matter on December 23 and 24, found that Kota's JK Lone Hospital is short of beds and it requires improvement.

However, the committee gave a clean chit to the doctors for any lapses over the recent death of infants admitted there.

A Central government team reached the hospital on Saturday to take stock of the situation.

As per the government report, at least 91 infants lost their lives at the government hospital in December last year.

Meanwhile, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to Chief Secretary of Rajasthan to submit a detailed report within 4 weeks about the steps being taken to address the issue.

The Commission also asked the Chief Secretary to ensure that such deaths of the children do not recur in future due to lack of infrastructure and health facilities at the hospitals.
