Members of the Bajal-Pakkaladka and Jalligudde units of DYFI as well as local residents took part in the fishing in the stagnant water' protest at the RuB at 10 a.m.

In a release issued here, DYFI district secretary Santosh Bajal said that the residents were put to hardship because of the non-completion of the project.

“It is almost a year since the RUB was constructed Padil-Bajal main road. However, Mangaluru City Corporation has still not been able to set right this vital road that provides access to many other adjoining areas. The construction of RUB has totally cut off the road connecting Faisalnagar and Jayanagar. People of these areas are forced to walk up to the main road at Padil for their daily needs and vocation,” he noted.

The RUB has been constructed in an unscientific manner and rain water collects there as there is no proper drainage facility. It is difficult for motorists to use this road, especially after it has rained, he said.

People are forced to use alternative and longer routes to avoid this mess in order to reach the city, he said adding the present situation has arisen squarely because of total lack of coordination between the civic body and Palakkad division of Southern Railways, he complained.

Feb 25: Two Customs Preventive officers allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in Kerala were removed from service, a top official said in Kochi on Monday.

Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Kochi, said that he took action against Radhakrishnan B, Superintendent of Customs, and Rahul, Inspector of Customs, who were allegedly involved in gold smuggling cases in the state.

Radhakrishnan was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 24998.61 grams having a market value of over Rs 8 crore through Thiruvananthapuram international airport on May 13, 2019, Kumar said.

Rahul was involved in attempted smuggling of gold weighing 11,035.54 grams valued at over Rs 4 crore through international airport on August 19, 2019, the Customs Commissioner added.

Radhakrishnan is currently lodged in Central prison, Thiruvananthapuram after the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau under the Union Finance Ministry issued detention order under COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act, 1974).

Rahul, against whom detention order under COFEPOSA was issued, is absconding.

"Two Customs officers of the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, Kochi, who were involved in gold smuggling cases were removed from service by Sumit Kumar, Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Cochin," an official release said.

Kumar said that both the cases were booked and investigated by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and while show cause notice under Customs Act 1962 has been issued against Radhakrishnan, investigation is under progress in the other case.

"Both the officers were removed from service, after due process of law under Rule 19 of the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965," the release said.
