It was a detour, but for Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan, it was a blast from the past. On tour in the delta districts to oversee pandemic control activities, he smuggled a short span of time in his schedule to catch up with people from his past. Dr. Radhakrishnan made a quick stop at Natham village near Kumbakonam, en route. The people of this village were once close to him, he said, because 13 of the 94 children who had died in the horrific Kumbakonam school fire in 2004, hailed from this village. Dr. Radhakrishnan was the collector of Thanjavur district at that point and oversaw relief and rehabilitation for the families of children who died in the fire accident.With the Prajwal Revanna sexual abuse case taking new twists every day, JD(S) State president and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Monday appealed to the Hassan MP, who is his nephew, to return and subject himself to the legal process. This is the first time that such an appeal has been made by the family.
Amidst continuing protest over the murder of Anjali Ambiger in Hubballi, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who visited the victim’s family on Monday, announced in a press conference that like the Neha Hiremath case, this too would be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for inquiry.
