The Crime Branch (CB) has launched a preliminary investigation following reports that scores of people in the coastal areas of Ambalappuzha in Alappuzha district had sold their kidneys through intermediaries in recent years.
Officials said that at least 24 people, including women and all from poor economic backgrounds, in two wards of Ambalappuzha South grama panchayat had “donated” their kidneys for money.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
