The Kerala High Court on Thursday adjourned by two weeks the hearing on a petition filed by K.V. Manoj Kumar, president, Indian Lawyers Congress, Kannur district unit, seeking a directive for a police investigation into the alleged conspiracy to attack Governor Arif Mohammed Khan during a function at the Kannur University in 2019.
The court also kept in abeyance the further proceedings on a complaint filed by him pending before the Kannur Judicial First Class Magistrate court. According to the petitioner, the court posted the complaint for recording a statement of the petitioner, instead of ordering an investigation.
The petitioner pointed out that a proper investigation was indispensable to book the culprits behind the conspiracy.
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.
