‘Onkal’, the five-day art and culture camp for children of nine tribal settlements of the Vazhachal Forest Division, concluded on Sunday.
Around 70 children from Malakkapara, Anakkayam, Sholayar, Thavalakkuzhippara, Mukkumbuzha, Vachumaram, Peringalkuthu, Pokalappara, and Vazhchal attended the camp, which was jointly organised by the Kerala Forest Development Agency of the Forest Department and Trespassers, a collective of artists. The camp was named Onkal, as hornbill is known in the tribal lingo.
The objective of the camp was to motivate tribal children to get back to schools after the pandemic-induced break in school education, said R. Lakshmi, Divisional Forest Officer, Vazhachal.
K.R. Rajeev led the camp.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
