‘Religious radicalization’, extremism to dominate top cops meet

Kasaragod, Aug 27: Cybersecurity, alleged religious radicalization, and Left extremism are likely to be important areas of focus when police chiefs of five southern States convene here for a crucial meeting on August 30.

Kerala Police Chief Loknath Behera will host the meeting which is viewed as a precursor to a nationwide conclave of State Police Chiefs to be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November.

The SPCs of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana are scheduled to attend the closed door conference. They are expected to cobble together broad policing strategies to be presented to the Prime Minister.

Senior officials privy to the preparations said Kerala had its own basket of troubling law and order concerns.

NIA sources claimed that Kerala’s highly educated workforce had of late become a magnet for Islamic State (IS) recruiters seeking to enlist professionals to what they call global jihadist cause.

NIA also claim that IS’ online mobilisers had persuaded at least 21 families from north Kerala to the IS in Afghanistan in 2016. There were disturbing reports that some of them were killed in military action. The police feel that the “deceptive work” of such organisations would only widen schism between faiths.

Cybersecurity is also on the top of the conclave’s agenda, especially in the wake of the “ransomware threat” that locked out individual users and crucial services across the globe. The State law enforcement’s cybercrime research unit, Kerala Police Cyberdome, is likely to be heard out by the police chiefs.

Another top priority for the State police is to deny an operational base for armed Left extremists in forested areas in north Kerala. (The police had shot dead two armed Maoists in Nilambur forest.)

 The State police are already involved in joint operations with their counterparts to prevent armed Maoist irregulars from dominating the forested area known as the northern tri-junction of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

New Delhi, Feb 20: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the non-bailable warrants issued against the state Director General of Police (DGP) and Inspector General of Police (IGP) by the Karnataka High Court.

A bench of Chief Justice SA Bobde stayed the non-bailable warrants while hearing a plea filed by the Karnataka government.

Earlier today, the apex court had agreed to hear the matter today itself after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta mentioned the matter before it.

Tushar Mehta had pointed that Home Secretary has been asked by the High Court to execute the non-bailable warrants and said that this order is "unusual".

Karnataka High Court had earlier issued non-bailable warrants against the top cops in a case.

Mangaluru, Apr 26: In the wake of the fears among local people regarding the cremation of coronavirus victims, an understanding has been reached with all stakeholders that the Mangaluru city corporation's crematorium here will be the official funeral site for such cases in future.

Mangaluru South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath, who had to face stinging criticism on social media for his alleged support to local people who stopped the cremation of a COVID- 19 victim at Pachanady near here on Thursday, took an active role in finding the solution.

The body of the victim, a woman, had to be taken from Pachanady to Kaikunje during the night, delaying the funeral by hours.

Kamath visited Boloor on Saturday and sought to convince the people that cremating the bodies of coronavirus victims would not endanger their lives in any way as the guidelines of WHO and union health ministry are being strictly followed.

The crematorium at Boloor is run by the MCC and has an electric furnace and firewood pyres.

Kamath said a tacit understanding that final rites of COVID-19 patients inDakshina Kannada will be performed at Boloor has been reached at a meeting with all stakeholders.

Cremating bodies in such a controlled environment is deemed safe as per guidelines, he said.

City Mayor Diwakar, local corporator Jagadish Shetty and MCC assistant commissioner Madan Mohan took part in the meeting.

The decision was conveyed to the DK district administration.

The district administration has also launched a campaign on dead body management protocol to convince the people to ignore misinformation being spread regarding the cremation of coronavirus victims.

"Everyone talks about equality. Those who desired inequality in the past are now seeking equality. The time is ripe to bring Uniform Civil Code," he said.

The Minister said that the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) has been a part of the party's agenda since the time when BJP was formed in 1980.

"We spoke about article 370, we have done it, on Ayodhya issue, the Supreme Court has given its verdict. As the time comes we will do it," he said.
