The Hindu
Praful K. Patel will leave for the islands from Kochi today
Hibi Eden and T.N. Prathapan, MPs, and Anwar Sadat, MLA, are among those waiting to meet Lakshadweep Administrator Praful K. Patel at the domestic terminal of the Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery to convey their protest against a series of measures initiated by the Administrator. Mr. Patel is visiting Lakshadweep islands on Monday and the entire island residents are observing a Black Day in protest against his steps. The Black Day protest is being organised under the aegis of the Save Lakshadweep Forum. Mr. Prathapan said that a group of protesters had gathered at the Nedumbassery airport. The MPs and MLA would try to meet Mr. Patel before he left for Lakshadweep. However, sources said that Mr. Patel was unlikely to meet the people’s representatives or the media as he might leave for the islands from the terminal itself.
