Don't shift Coast Guard Academy, Pinarayi writes to PM

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 8: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi against the move to shift the proposed Coast Guard Academy in Kannur district to Mangaluru in Karnataka.

The Centre should drop such an "unjustified move" that is against Kerala's interests, Vijayan said in a letter to Modi.

The state government has already transferred 164 acres of land for the academy, besides spending about Rs 65.56 crore for providing infrastructure facilities, he said.

Pointing out that the area of Irinive in Kannur district was a rich storehouse of mangrove cultivation, the Union environment and forest ministry had declined permission for construction activities.

The chief minister said that about 50 acres of land, where there is no mangrove cultivation, is available for constructing the academy.

In such circumstances, the prime minister should send a special team from the ministry to visit the area and take the necessary steps to give clearance for the project, he said.

Better to shift to somewhere. Central govt acquired land for naval academy in kannur, near to my place. Year by year they are acquiring more. We cant go freely. They are restricted to go some area including some parts which are not included their academy. Privacy issue, drainage issue, water scarcity everything arises only becuase of them.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday termed as 'disturbing' the violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley and said the government should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue.

He sought to know as to how Indian soldiers lost their lives during a de-escalation process and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh should come out with a clearer picture.

"Reports coming from #GalwanValley are disturbing. Why did our soldiers lose their lives during a de-escalation process? In national interest, the PM and RM should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue with the Chinese. #LADAKHSTANDOFF," Gowda tweeted. An Indian Army officer and two soldiers were killed during the confrontation with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night, the first such incident in the last 45 years that reflected massive escalation in the five- week border row.

The Army said India lost an officer and two soldiers during the violent face-off, while there were casualties on the Chinese side as well.
