Kasaragod is one of the two districts in Kerala which do not have an oxygen plant
To address the growing need of oxygen cylinders for the critically ill patients affected by COVID-19, the Kasaragod administration with the support of the local bodies are setting up Oxygen producing plant in the district. District Collector D. Sajith Babu told The Hindu that the plant which would be set up at Chattanchal Industrial Estate would have the capacity of producing 200 cylinder per day. He said the plant would be public undertaking and run with the support of gram, block and district panchayat. The plant would be administered by the District panchayat, he added.“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.
