Lko DM visits Malihabad, spotlights ‘Kavach' to boost mango exports
District magistrate Vishak G on Saturday toured the famed Malihabad mango belt to assess technological developments in mango cultivation and engage directly with local farmers. During his field visit, he reviewed the 'Kavach bagging technique' being implemented by farmers. The method, used to protect mangoes from pests and improve fruit quality, was noted as a step forward in modernising traditional practices. Addressing a gathering of growers, the DM encouraged farmers to strengthen their participation in export-related activities by working closely with local mango pack houses. He also interacted with officials from the horticulture department to promote government-backed schemes for horticulture. The visit coincided with the district receiving the geographical indication (GI-125) user certificate for the Malihabadi Dasheri mango. Congratulating the Awadh Mango Producer and Horticulture Committee, Vishak said the certificate would help in expanding the international footprint of this distinct variety of mango. The DM was joined by deputy director DK Verma of the horticulture department and other officials. General secretary Upendra Singh of the committee, along with mango growers Mahendra Singh, Rohit Jaiswal, and Muslekhuddin, also took part in the event.

Thiruvananthapuram: Nemom police will soon submit a proposal to the city police commissioner to imprison a 21-year-old Melarannoor native under Kerala Anti-Social Activities Prevention Act (Kaapa) for engaging in criminal activities despite previous restrictions. The proposal will later f be orwarded to the district collector for approval. Police identified the accused as Vishak Vijayan of Pandaravilakam House near Melarannoor. In March this year, police had evoked Kaapa against him and he was restricted from entering Thiruvananthapuram city and engaging in any criminal activities. The restriction was imposed due to his involvement in several criminal cases. However, the accused again got involved in several cases, including an attempted murder case registered at Malayinkeezhu police station, violating the earlier order. In view of this, a new FIR was registered under sections 19 and 15 (4) against Vishak for violating Kaapa. Police said Vishak was involved in as many as eight criminal cases and was absconding.
