Kannur, Oct 26: Two more men were arrested in Kannur on Thursday over suspected links with the Islamic State (IS), a dreaded terror outfit allegedly supported by Israel and US intelligence agencies.

Hamza and Manaf, from Thalassery in Kannur district, were arrested a day after the police arrested three youths returned from Turkey.

The police said Hamza was involved in the recruitment of operatives for the terrorist outfit. Kannur DySP P P Sadanandan said Hamza had worked in the Gulf for about 20 years.

“Manaf who was preparing to leave the country was earlier stopped at the Mangaluru International Airport and sent back,” Sadanandan told reporters.

The Valapattanam Police had on Wednesday arrested three men – Rashid M V, Abdul Razzaq and Mithilaj K C – following a period of surveillance.

The police said the men were stationed in Turkey and were trying to enter Syria when they were intercepted by the Turkish authorities and deported to India.

They had lived in Istanbul for four months. The three men were booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The arrest of five men in Kannur over two days also assumes significance considering that it comes a year after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested from the district six men who were involved in the Omar Al-Hindi IS module.

The NIA charge sheets in the case said the accused had plans to collect explosives to target “prominent people and places of public importance” in south India.

Bengaluru, Mar 13: Health Minister B Sriramulu on Thursday assured the House that the state government will recruit doctors in all Primary Health Centres across the state through direct recruitment by the end of April this year.

The minister was answering MLA A T Ramaswamy, who raised the issue of shortage of doctors on Thursday. Sriramulu said there are 2,359 primary health centres in Karnataka, of which 1,432 centres have permanent doctors, 436 have doctors on contract basis, 236 have Ayush doctors, 55 have doctors who work under rural service, and the rest work on contract basis under the National Health Mission.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who had recently directed ministers to cancel KPSC recruitment and go for direct recruitment, expressed his anger  as it hasn’t been implemented even now. Sriramulu said, “I have directed the concerned District health officer to take action and go for direct recruitment. It will be done by end of April.”

He also said he is aware of the difference in salary between doctors working under the health department and those working under the medical education department. “This will also be rectified,’’ he assured.

Meanwhile, Sriramulu said that a hospital that he had inaugurated recently in Mysuru, has been shut due to the lack of doctors and furniture. “This will be sorted out soon,’’ he assured.
