The State government will not countenance any infringement of the civil rights enshrined in the Constitution, nor will it approve of any such proposal, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said. A press note issued by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) on Saturday said there had been a demand from certain quarters for legislation to control organised crime in Kerala. “A four-member committee comprising the Chief Secretary, Additional Chief Secretary (Home), Law Secretary, and former Additional Advocate General K.K. Raveendranath has been set up to study suggestions on the matter.” The press note added that no file had been created for the purpose.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
