A protest march taken out by the Kannur District Congress Committee (DCC) to the Head Post Office here on Monday against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi turned violent.
DCC president Martin George and 16 other party workers sustained injuries when the police used force to disperse the protesters.

In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
