Members of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) here took out a peace march in the city on Monday to mark the death anniversary of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.
The march, headed by Coimbatore district in-charge and Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Excise and Prohibition S. Muthusamy, started from the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Park Gate Road to Anna Silai on Avinashi Road via Dr. Nanjappa Road. Floral tributes were paid to the leader’s statue near Gandhipuram.
DMK district secretary and former MLA N. Karthik, former minister Pongalur N. Palanisamy, Coimbatore Mayor Kalpana Anandakumar, and Deputy Mayor R. Vetriselvan took part in the rally, according to a release. Over 10,000 party workers participated, the release stated.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“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.
