Rehabilitation package proposed for former Maoist leader
The Hindu
Committee recommends provision of house, job, and stipend to him
A district-level rehabilitation committee meeting, chaired by District Collector A. Geetha, here on Saturday recommended that the State Government provide a house, job opportunity, and stipend to a Maoist leader who surrendered recently.
A senior leader of the proscribed Communist Party of India (Maoist), Lijesh alias Ramu, had surrendered before the Wayanad District Police Chief on October 25.
Lijesh was the deputy commander of Kabanidalam of the Western Ghats Special Zone Committee of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).

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.
