Palakkad, Kerala,

In a powerful display of civic activism, the All Kerala Anti-Corruption and Human Rights Protection Council staged a sit-in protest (dharna) in front of the Palakkad District Collector’s office today, raising strong concerns over the increasing threat posed by stray dog attacks across the streets of Palakkad.

The protest, attended by over a hundred council members, social activists, and local citizens, was organized as part of the council’s broader campaign to hold the authorities accountable for their failure in addressing this escalating issue. Protesters carried placards reading “Right to Safety is a Basic Human Right” and “Stray Menace = Civic Failure”, highlighting their demand for urgent intervention.

The government’s move to save actor Mohanlal from the case of illegally possessing ivory is very alarming. This move by the government to overstep the law for an individual will have far-reaching consequences.

This is a country where the crime of killing and eating a porcupine or a wild boar is punishable by up to five years in prison. No one dares to kill pigs that destroy crops for fear of legal entanglements. Possession of skins, teeth or horns of wild animals is punishable by imprisonment for up to 7 years under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Aimed at the conservation of exotic wildlife. It is this law that Kerala and the Center are trying to overcome by joining hands for a person named Mohan Lal.

On 22 July 2011, during the income tax raid at actor Mohanlal’s house, a huge collection of ivory was found in Adde Hath’s house. Two of these are original horns and the Forest Department officials who conducted further investigation have confirmed through the inspection that he does not have the legal permission to possess them.

Due to the accumulation of garbage in the Tirur-Ponnani River and the adjacent Kanoli Canal, the water was discolored and had a strong smell. Hospitals, hotels, industries and others operating along the banks of the river have been brought to the attention of the authorities many times for dumping waste into the river. The famous Dr. R.V. G. Menon checked the place and understood things.

Before the start of the rainy season, the fishes in the river were floating dead in groups, and the unpleasant stench was felt from the blackened water, which scared the people. It is known that the fish died and floated due to chemical impurities in the river water and the oxygen rate reached zero. To prevent its spread to wells etc. in Samipa area and to make it free of waste.

It is because of the need for urgent action that the council has to approach the Kark Court. State Vice President of All Kerala Anti-Corruption & Human Rights Protection Council Mr. Bapu Vadakkeil, District General Secretary Mr. Manaf and Malapuram District Collector and Water Transport Department Secretary, Malappuram D. Hon. The court accepted the injustice filed in the Parappanangady Municipal Court and appointed a commission to inspect the site.

The policemen who are politically involved and fighting each other are bringing shame to the force and the state itself. Most recently, the election itself had to be postponed due to clashes between ruling party supporters and opposition supporters in connection with the cooperative society elections held in Kannur.

The role of the police is crucial in maintaining the rule of law in the country. We also know that law enforcement can be neutral. When the policemen are divided like this, the administration of justice is distorted.

It is generally understood that it is for the court to decide whether an accused person is guilty and whether to punish him or not. But it is the police who file the case against the criminals who come before the court using various departments and present the necessary evidence and witnesses to prove it. It is only after considering all that that the court reaches its conclusion. Even a small mistake made by the police in this regard can lead to the case being weakened and the culprit escaping. In such cases, the court can reprimand the police for the mistakes in the investigation of the case and in the preparation of the charge sheet. Today, in most cases, sending back the charge sheet and reprimanding the police is a common sight in the courts.

The solar scam and some shocking revelations by the suspected culprits have become hot topics in Kerala politics today. At this time of the elections, the ruling ministers and MLAs were involved in such a debate by the news media and the opposition parties.

One of the accused, Saritha A., said that the Chief Minister had directly accepted the bribe.The state administration leadership is on the defensive after giving a statement before the inquiry commission. The Vigilance Court’s order to file an FIR against the Chief Minister and the High Court’s intervention against it has led to yet another controversy.The fact that the courts have taken a stand against each other to the extent that the credibility of the people in the justice system is being questioned is not the least bit worrying to the public.

The fact that Team Solar’s projects were of contemporary importance and at the level of blind faith made so many people fall into their net. Energy Department Minister Aryatan Muhammad must have studied this well and made some statements in favor of it at that time. It is also natural that they were able to mislead the Chief Minister. But many of the revelations made by Sarita and Biju, who were the directors of the company, are trustworthy. However, people believe that something unknown happened in connection with this.

The reality is that if the project put forward by Team Solar Company had been implemented successfully, none of these controversies would have happened. It is also true that the alleged authorities had no role behind the destruction of the company.

Human Rights Commission member Adv. K.E. Gangadharan suddenly conducted a lightning inspection of the iron ore companies in the Kanchikode industrial area one day. The commission found that the workers were working in very dangerous conditions, and that the workers working in the furnaces in many factories were not even provided with safety gear. The commission, which learned that the workers were being brought here by contractors from other states and that their registration and health check-ups were not being done properly, also found that the workers were living in very unsanitary conditions.

The commission member had explained the shocking human rights violations found in this inspection, which was conducted one and a half years ago, in a seminar on human rights issues in the labor and environment sector at Victoria College, Palakkad that same day. He had assured that the seriousness of the issue would be brought to the attention of the government.
