#WATCH | Kochi, Keralam: On investigation of Juvenile son of a Judge involved in a car accident in Cheranalloor, Kochi City Police Commissioner Kaliraj Mahesh Kumar says, "... Yesterday, early in the morning, the police received information about an accident. A police team immediately rushed to the spot, and the victim was shifted to the hospital. Unfortunately, the person later died. Initially, a case was registered under the section relating to death caused by negligence, based on the initial First Information Statement (FIS). However, during the investigation, evidence emerged indicating that the vehicle was overspeeding. Since the accused was a juvenile, the section was subsequently altered to Section 105 for culpable homicide. Initially, this evidence was not available. The section was altered, and, following the Juvenile Justice rules, the juvenile was produced before the concerned Juvenile Justice Board, and the prescribed procedures were followed. Moreover, the Motor Vehicles Act provides that when an accident is caused by a juvenile, the guardian or the registered owner (RC owner) may be held responsible. In this case, the father is also the registered owner of the vehicle. Accordingly, the relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act have been invoked. Certain procedures must be followed because the registered owner is a judge, and we are following those procedures to take further action... This is an emotional moment. We fully support the family, as they have lost their breadwinner, who was working late at night when the accident occurred. We will take all necessary action to ensure that those responsible and found culpable are brought to justice, in accordance with the existing norms."

The Hindu has reported about 60000 form 7s filled by EROs without citing reason. Same trend @AnjanaMeenakshi noticed in Andhra too. But when we asked, EROs said the portal does not allow them to fill reason. What’s the use of such a portal @ECISVEEP? thenewsminute.com/andhra-pra…

Keralam stands united. Communal hatred has no place here. The recent Instagram video by a vlogger from outside the state, attempting to spread misinformation about Fort Kochi, portray our state in a negative light, and divide communities, is unacceptable. A case has been registered, and the law will take its course. The UDF government remains committed to communal harmony and justice without fear or favour. A New Era for God's Own Country. No room for hate. We will not allow anyone to even lay a finger on our communal harmony.

Fort Kochi and Varkala are places where cultures meet, histories intertwine and diversity thrives. Now, a vlogger peddling hate for profit seeks to paint these vibrant destinations in communal colours. Having failed to divide Keralam, the Sangh Parivar is outsourcing its hate campaign to online provocateurs. But Keralam’s secular spirit will not yield to their politics of hatred. The State Government must take strict legal action against those spreading communal enmity.

Earlier this month, former #ISRO chairman Madhavan Nair was the chief guest at a seminar titled 'ISRO's Future: Concerns and Anxieties'. I spoke to him about what these concerns were, and why the space community was "alarmed" 👇🏿 youtube.com/watch?v=3ngStpXu…
