Children of Kurukkankundu in Agali seek Collector's help for road, power
The students said that their families had been living at Kurukkankundu since 1960 with proper land documents. However, they said basic facilities were being denied to them because of the objections raised by the Forest department.
Those students had staged a satyagraha and night marches in 2020 demanding Internet connectivity as the schools turned to online mode in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown. They are students of Mount Carmel High School, Jellippara. They said they were forced to walk 7 km to reach the school owing to lack of a proper road.
The issue was raised even in the Assembly, yet no solution was found so far. The children said they were being denied the basic facilities such as power supply and road for no fault of theirs.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey resigns to take a top FBI position
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican who has been an ardent backer of President Donald Trump, said Monday (August 18, 2025) that he is resigning to take a leadership position at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The move is the latest in a series of changes at the FBI under Director Kash Patel. Numerous senior officials, including top agents in charge of big-city field offices, have been pushed out of their jobs, and Justice Department officials have sought the names of agents who participated in investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Mr. Bailey said he is stepping down effective Sept. 8 to serve as the FBI's co-deputy director, alongside Dan Bongino. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is to announce a new appointee as attorney general on Tuesday. 'My life has been defined by a call to service, and I am once again answering that call, this time at the national level,' Mr. Bailey said in a statement. In a little over two-and-a-half years in the job, Mr,. Bailey pursued numerous lawsuits challenging former President Joe Biden's administration on an array of policies, including immigration actions, student loan forgiveness, environmental rules, gun safety initiatives and transgender rights measures. He also threatened legal action against private gyms over bathroom policies, demanded that public schools ban drag shows and sued New York state, claiming that Mr. Trump's 2024 hush money criminal trial was 'overt meddling' in the 2024 election that limited Missouri voters' information. Most recently, Mr. Bailey's office has defended the state's anti-abortion regulations in the face of a voter-approved constitutional amendment establishing a state right to abortion. Earlier this year, Mr. Bailey's office won a $24.5 billion award against China for the COVID-19 pandemic in a case that originally was filed by his predecessor, Eric Schmitt, who won election to the U.S. Senate in 2022. Mr. Bailey was serving as general counsel to Republican Gov. Mike Parson when his boss appointed him to replace Schmitt. An Army veteran, Bailey won a full four-year term as attorney general last November.

‘Will apologise on social media': Indore cartoonist tells SC in ‘undignified' Modi caricature case
An Indore-based cartoonist booked for depicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in an allegedly undignified manner told the Supreme Court on Tuesday that he will publish an apology on social media, Bar and Bench reported. A bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria was hearing a petition filed by the cartoonist Hemant Malviya, seeking anticipatory bail in the case registered against him in Madhya Pradesh. 'I have already placed the apology according to the earlier order,' Bar and Bench quoted advocate Vrinda Grover, representing Malviya, as having told the bench. 'I want to make an additional statement that it [the caricature] will be deleted from all social media platforms even though the case pertains to the Facebook post.' Grover added: 'I will publish the apology on my social media account as well.' Additional Solicitor General KM Nataraj, for the Madhya Pradesh government, said that the post should not be deleted because of the ongoing investigation. Nataraj added that the apology should be published on social media with an undertaking that the cartoonist would not indulge in the same again. The bench said that Malviya should publish the apology within 10 days and extended the interim protection from arrest granted to him till the next hearing. On July 15, the Supreme Court had granted the cartoonist interim protection from arrest but cautioned that if he continued to share allegedly offensive posts on social media, the Madhya Pradesh government was free to take action against him. The order had come after Malviya submitted an apology for his social media post. The bench had also directed the cartoonist to file the apology in Hindi as an affidavit. A day earlier, the cartoonist had agreed to delete the post after being criticised by the Supreme Court. Malviya had moved the top court challenging a Madhya Pradesh High Court order that denied him anticipatory bail in the case. The High Court in its July 3 order observed that Malviya had 'clearly overstepped' the limits of free speech and misused his right to expression. It held that the cartoonist had failed to exercise discretion while publishing the caricature and held that his custodial interrogation was necessary. The case Malviya had published the original cartoon on January 6, 2021, which depicted Modi as a doctor administering an injection to a man dressed in what may have appeared to some as the uniform of the RSS. The RSS is the parent organisation of the Bharatiya Janata Party. It was accompanied with the Hindi caption: 'Why are you worried? Serum's Poonawala has said that the vaccine only has water, you won't die from the side effect of water!' This was a reference to Serum Institute of India's Chief Executive Officer Adar Poonawalla alleging that many Covid-19 vaccines in the market were only as effective as water. According to the High Court order, a Facebook user had republished the cartoon, but replaced the caption with one in which the man in the purported RSS uniform addresses Modi as an incarnation of the Hindu deity Shiva and asks to be injected with such a strong dose of the caste census in his buttocks so that he forgets the Pahalgam terror attack and the contentious Waqf Act, among other matters. Malviya had shared the altered version of his cartoon on Facebook on May 1, writing that anyone could use any of his cartoons by writing their own names and captions. All his cartoons were for the public, by the public and dedicated to the public, he said. He added that the altered cartoon was shared with him by a friend and that whoever had created the caption had written well. Based on this, a RSS member had filed a complaint, alleging that Malviya had posted objectionable content on Facebook that defamed the Hindutva organisation and hurt religious sentiments. Malviya was booked in May under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Information Technology Act pertaining to promoting enmity between groups, acts intended to outrage religious feelings, intentional insult and electronically publishing or transmitting material containing sexually explicit acts. Malviya has argued that he was falsely implicated in the case and that his work was merely satire. He also said that the comments about the caricature on Facebook were not his own, and therefore, he could not be held responsible for them.

RFK Jr.'s Dangerous Attack on mRNA Research
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has halted nearly half a billion dollars in funding for mRNA-based respiratory vaccines—and thereby ended America's leadership research into one of modern medicine's most promising frontiers. That verdict runs counter to the evidence. I've spent more than three decades advancing mRNA research. Testing proves it both safe and transformative in the way we fight disease. My work began in the days of basic RNA biology, and it has reached to seeing my graduate student help design the Moderna Covid vaccine. I've watched these discoveries save millions of lives worldwide. Mr. Kennedy's decision must be reversed. The skepticism many Americans have toward mRNA vaccines is easy to understand. The Covid vaccine rollout came with overconfident and misleading assurances that the shots were entirely without risk and that they would prevent infection and transmission. Those claims, delivered with certainty that wasn't backed up by science, proved false. Worse, public-health authorities and employers coupled those messages with sweeping mandates: Take an experimental vaccine or lose your job, your education and access to public spaces. Rather than seeking informed consent, public leaders deployed misinformation and coercive tactics. Being told one thing, then living through another, left a sense of betrayal that damaged the public's trust in health authorities. Acknowledging those errors is mandatory for restoring our credibility. We need to hold two truths at once: The benefits of the Covid vaccine were oversold and the uncertainties understated—and yet, when the data came in, the mRNA vaccines still proved effective at reducing severe illness and death. Here, the evidence is clear. In large, randomized clinical trials reviewed by the FDA, the first mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna reduced the risk of symptomatic Covid by about 95%. Real-world data from later surges, including the Delta and Omicron waves, confirmed that vaccinated people were far less likely to be hospitalized or die of the virus. The most-discussed adverse event, myocarditis in young men, was real but extremely rare. In the highest-risk group, males age 12 to 17 after a second dose, the risk was roughly 0.006% to 0.011%, about the same as lifetime odds of being struck by lightning. The vaccines were highly effective, and the benefits outweighed the risks by orders of magnitude. That doesn't diminish the experience of anyone who suffered a complication, but it matters when setting national policy. The mRNA vaccines are among the most promising tools in modern medicine. They offer unmatched speed and adaptability, allowing scientists to design and produce targeted vaccines in weeks instead of years. Their potential extends far beyond respiratory diseases. Researchers are now using mRNA to tackle rare genetic disorders, autoimmune diseases, heart disease and cancers. Early trials of customized mRNA vaccines for pancreatic cancer have shown success rates of 50%, echoing the mid-20th-century leukemia breakthroughs that lifted five-year survival from just 10% to 94%. That leap from near-certain death to near-certain survival shows what sustained investment in medical research can achieve. For more than six decades, the U.S. has led the world in biomedical innovation, thanks in large part to sustained federal investment in basic research. That lead is now at risk, as global rivals are moving aggressively to surpass us. Chinese researchers, along with rapidly advancing biotech hubs in other countries, are shortening clinical trial approvals, boosting investment, and attracting record levels of global capital. If we step back, they will seize this field—forcing the U.S. to depend on foreign-made medicines. Once lost, American leadership may never return. American leadership need not, and should not, embrace mRNA technology uncritically. But the government has a responsibility to drive safe, groundbreaking innovation forward. As a scientist whose education was funded by National Institutes of Health grants, I see this as a social contract with the American people. With strong federal backing and a commitment to rapid, responsible progress, mRNA vaccines can realize their full potential. Mr. Coller is a professor of RNA biology and therapeutics at Johns Hopkins University, founder of the Alliance for mRNA Medicines and a co-founder of Tevard Biosciences.
