SFI activists wave black flags at Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in Kannur, leading to arrests and protests.
Students Federation of India (SFI) activists waived black flags at Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in Kannur on Sunday evening.
The Governor, who arrived by a flight at Kannur International airport, was on his way to Wayanad to meet the family members of Ajeesh, who was killed by a wild elephant. The SFI members waved black flags at Mr. Khan’s convoy at Mattanur town.
The police arrested SFI president A. Abinav, a resident of Vengad and SFI area secretary Akshay, of Thilangeri, at 8.45 p.m.
SFI and DYFI activists staged protest soon thereafter.
The police told media persons that the arrested leaders have been released.
According to the “2023: World Air Quality Report”, India is the third most polluted nation globally and Delhi the most polluted capital city. Though Bengaluru (Rank 673) stands nowhere close to the topmost polluted cities, increasing temperature, irregular rains, growing population and infrastructure are leading to a slow change in the water and air quality of the garden city.
