The Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad (KSSP) has urged the government to immediately stop the ongoing dredging activities at Thottappally pozhi and transportation of mineral-rich sand from there.

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.
