Tension prevailed at Sundarapuram in Coimbatore after two unidentified persons assaulted a Hindu Munnai functionary, late on Saturday. The police said that Hindu Munnani’s Ukkadam area vice-president S. Ramakrishnan (36), a resident of Thayammal Layout at Podanur, was assaulted by two men who came on a two-wheeler at Sundarapuram around 10.30 p.m.The fear of being caught for traffic rule violation has indeed compelled many two-wheeler riders to wear helmets. But one cursory look at riders at any traffic junction in Bengaluru shows that more than half the riders have on their heads non-standard helmets, designed solely to evade the eye of law, with little concern for the safety of their own heads.
When Britain handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997, Beijing promised to retain the city’s Western-style civil liberties for 50 years. However, since the introduction of the 2020 law, Hong Kong authorities have severely limited free speech and assembly under the rubric of maintaining national security.
