Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leader and former Kerala Minister G. Sudhakaran left the venue of C.B.C. Warrier remembrance meeting and award ceremony reportedly annoyed by the delay in the arrival of other guests and commencing the programme at Haripad in Alappuzha district on June 15.
The programme, organised by C.B.C. Warrier Foundation, was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m at S & S auditorium. Though Mr. Sudhakaran arrived on time, other guests, including Minister for Culture Saji Cherian, CPI(M) Central committee member C.S. Sujatha and CPI(M) Alappuzha district secretary R. Nazar did not turn up. After waiting for half an hour, a visibly upset Mr. Sudhakaran walked out of the auditorium.
The organisers later clarified that Mr. Sudhakaran left to attend another programme at Charumoodu.
The programme was organised in connection with the 11th death anniversary of Warrier, a CPI(M) leader. The C.B.C. Warrier Award was presented to the Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society at the function.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
