Sporadic violence took place across the State as part of the dawn-to-dusk hartal observed by the Sabarimal Karma Samithi on Thursday in protest against the entry of two women, under 50, into Ayyappa temple on Wednesday.

A couple of steel bombs were hurled at the house of a CPI(M) leader (who is also a member of Devaswam Board) at Perambra in this district late on Thursday night, breaking the glass of the window. The police reached the spot and defused the other bomb which did not exploded.

The vehicle of the Koyilandi Municipal Chairperson was blocked on the highway late on Thursday night. However police intervened and the car was released.

In retaliation, the BJP office in Puthiyatheru in Kannur was set ablaze early this morning allegedly by the Left Supporters. One Suresh, who was sleeping in the office suffered minor burns and has been admitted to a nearby hospital.

The situation in Kasaragod and Palakkad, where clashes between the warring left supporters and Hindu activists were rampant on Thursday is reported to be returning to normality. 

Aimed at controlling the agitators, Prohibitory orders has been imposed in Palakkad town and Manjeswaram taluk in Kasaragod, from Thursday night till Friday evening.

Sanghis are frustrated by loss to bjp in 5 states.   they are trying their best to create tension in the public.  Kerala POlice should be very strinct on these terrorists.   They have factory of making bombs + ammunitions.  All the offices of RSS should be checked for ammunitions and sealed.   RSS is the real troble maker and should be declared by terrorist organisation .   US has already declared RSS as terrorist organisation and same thing shold be done in India also.    RSS never supported Indian independence and not a single RSS cadre sacrificed his life during freedom struggle.   Instead they collaborated with British and worked as agent / informers.

I saw one video in fb. Kerala hartal video shot from kochi. RSS vs shop owners. RSS people coming in bike for forcing them to close their shops, but shop owners started beating all of them and these cheddi people ran with and without bikes. RSS got nice treatment in that hartal, thats why they are vandalising shops, vehicles and offices, pelting stones

Bengaluru, April 3: The ASHA worker, who was attacked by locals in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru while conducting a coronavirus survey, on Friday expressed satisfaction with police action in the matter.

"I am happy that five people have been arrested for attacking me while I was conducting a survey in view of COVID-19 in Sadiq layout area in Bengaluru on April 1. We serve the people and work for the betterment of the society," Krishnaveni, the ASHA worker, told news agency here.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in the area on Wednesday.

"We had been conducting surveys for the past 14 days ever since a positive coronavirus case was identified in the area. A person came and asked why we were gathering information. We informed him that a positive case was identified in the area," Krishnaveni said.

"They made an announcement from the mosque not to give any information to us. Afterwards, several people came out of their houses and started attacking us," she added.

Police initiated an investigation and have made arrests in the matter.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which has claimed the lives of at least 56 people and infected over 2,000 people.

Mandya, July 30: BJP state president Nalin Kumar Kateel on Wednesday said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has done a commendable job in tackling the Covid-19 situation and floods and that the question of changing the leadership does not arise.

Karnataka on Wednesday reported 5,503 new cases of Covid-19 and 92 related fatalities, taking the total number of infections to 1,12,504 and the death toll to 2,147.

Speaking to reporters here, Kateel said, "Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has gone to Delhi to discuss the projects sanctioned to state with the central minister. There is no need to read too much into it."

Replying to a query on graft charges against the BSY government by the Congress, Kateel said, "Congress national president, state unit president are out on bail in graft cases . Why did a Congress leader who calls himself a bande (rock) has approached court seeking stay on CBI probe? Before making any allegations against the government, they should think about 'irregularities' in Indira Canteen and housing schemes," he charged.

Instead of instilling confidence and hope among the people in these testing times, the Congress is unnecessarily creating fear with petty politics, he told reporters in Shravanabelagola, Hassan district.

"The Yediyurappa-led BJP government is working day and night to tackle the Covid-19. Similarly, several non-governmental organisations have joined hands with the government in the fight against the virus. But, the Congress is only creating confusion by issuing baseless statements," Kateel said.
