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, Jun 23: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday demanded that Bengaluru should be put under lockdown for 20 days to contain the spread of coronavirus, the cases of which have risen sharply recently.

 “Stop playing with people's lives. There’s no use in sealing off only some areas. If the people of Bengaluru must live, then a lockdown of at least 20 days is needed. Otherwise, Bengaluru will become another Brazil,” Kumaraswamy said in a tweet. “People’s health is more important, not economy.”

The JD(S) leader was reacting to the BJP government's decision to impose an area-wide lockdown in Chickpet, KR Market, Kalasipalyam and Chamarajpet while streets will be sealed off in VV Puram, Siddapura, Yelahanka, Vidyaranyapura and Chickpet.

Bengaluru has witnessed a huge spike in its Covid-19 tally; the city currently has at least 919 active cases. This has sparked off fears that the contagion might have reached the community.

Kumaraswamy has also demanded welfare measures for the poor. “The poor and the labourers should be given ration immediately. The state’s 50 lakh working class should get ₹5,000 each. The aid already announced by the government hasn’t reached drivers, weavers, Madiwalas and other communities,” he said, adding that mere announcements of a package won’t be enough and “it has to be implemented.”
