Cracks appear on NH's retaining wall at Valiyaparamba
Kozhikode: Cracks have appeared on the retaining wall of the national highway stretch at Valiyaparamba near Thalappara in Malappuram district. The cracks were formed in the concrete block walls constructed through the paddy field. Locals said a portion of the retaining wall showed slight subsidence. Commuters raised concerns that cracks in the concrete walls could lead to a serious accident. Deputy opposition leader P K Kunhalikutty, who visited the spot, said the incident was the continuation of the NH collapse at Kooriyad due to unscientific construction. TNN

Fathima Musaffer is a councillor of the Chennai Corporation. The party's senior leadership remains unchanged with K M Khader Moideen continuing as national president, Panakkad Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal as chairman of the political advisory committee and P K Kunhalikutty as national general secretary. E T Mohammed Basheer continues as organising secretary, Abdul Samad Samadani MP as senior vice president, and P V Abdul Wahab as treasurer.

At the meeting, the IUML passed a resolution expressing strong support for the Army's precise and courageous action in response to the recent cross-border attack at Pahalgam that killed innocent civilians. In another resolution, the party strongly condemned what it termed the "inhumane genocide" by Israel and Zionist forces in Gaza. It urged the UN to lead efforts to establish an independent Palestine and called for global action to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.
