Ernakulam teens become first Keralites to play in Minigolf World Championship
KOCHI: Walking out onto the greens at the Neheim-Husten golf course in Arnsberg, Germany, teenagers Aaron DSilva and Paul J Ponmattam on Tuesday etched their names in history as the first-ever Keralites to compete in the Minigolf World Championships. Its really amazing I have been selected for this, Aaron, 17, told TNIE, sharing his excitement ahead of the competition. Having started golfing at the tender age of eight, this mini superstar has slowly worked his way up, winning several accolades at the state and national levels. My father works with CIAL (Cochin International Airport Limited) and he used to take me to the golf course there. It is there that I picked up the passion for golfing, said Aaron, a student of Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2 in Kataribagh, Kochi. He also represented the country in the Asian Golf Championship held in Thailand last year, giving him the confidence required to compete internationally. My parents are the backbones of this achievement, Aaron said. Paul, 14, a resident of Angamaly, expressed a similar sentiment. He has only been golfing for three years, but has already emerged champion in many competitions. Paul bagged gold at the national minigolf championship held in Salem, which gave him the ticket to his first international event in Germany. Im looking forward to meeting new challenges. Being in an international competition will give me more exposure and experience. Im really excited, said Paul, a student of The Charter School, Pukkattupady. Aaron The championship is slated to run through to August 23. And while the two champs are setting history, their coach at the CIAL Golf Course in Nedumbassery Madesh Krishna is a delighted man. It is indeed a great achievement for the children to be able to participate in such a fantastic competition, Madesh said. Played in rounds of 45 minutes or less, minigolf is a smaller version of traditional golf. It emphasises on putting, that is hitting the ball with a shorter club called putter into the holes from a short distance, while navigating natural and installed obstacles. Minigolf is played in smaller golf courses than the sprawling traditional fields. Madesh pointed out that there are many more talented children doing well in golf. But the expenses involved in attending competitions and a lack of sponsorship are hindrances for upcoming golfers in the state, he added.

Sona suicide case: Ramees parents detained in Salem, brought to Kerala for questioning
KOCHI: In a major breakthrough in the probe into the alleged love jihad case in Kothamangalam, the parents of prime accused Ramees were taken into custody by Kerala Police from their hideout in Salem on Monday morning. The duo, who had been absconding since their names surfaced in the investigation, are being brought to Ernakulam and their formal arrest will be recorded later in the day, police sources said. As per the revelations in the suicide note, both of them were booked under charges of abetment of suicide. The probe team intends to question them further. However, they had gone into hiding to evade arrest, said an officer with the Ernakulam rural police. Meanwhile, the court is set to hear the custody application of Ramees, 24, who is currently lodged in judicial custody. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has sought a five-day custody period to pursue further leads in the case. Sona suicide: NIA can step in only after FIR process, says Union ministers The case pertains to the death of Sona Eldhose, 23, who died by suicide in Kothamangalam on August 9.

In a petition submitted to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on August 12, Sonas family demanded that the probe be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), warning that the incident had serious national security implications. Sonas mother, Bindu A K, had accused Ramees of attempting to coerce her daughter into converting to another religion, adding that the crime could be linked to extremist networks. This is not just about my daughter. It is about protecting other young women from similar exploitation, she had said, in the petition to the CM. The family also pointed to Panayikkulam in Aluva, Ramees native place, which had come under the scanner in 2006 when police busted a secret meeting of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) there Keralas first terrorism case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, later probed by the NIA.

Daily train service from Kerala to Velankanni to be a reality soon
KASARGOD: The possibility of a daily train service to Velankanni from Kerala would soon become a reality. MPs from Kerala have been constantly demanding daily train connectivity to Velankanni considering the huge population of Christians going on pilgrimage from the state to the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health at Velankanni in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu. It is one of the important pilgrimage centres of Christians, especially Catholic denominations, of Kerala and Karnataka. However, the shrine is poorly connected by Railways despite having a railway station in the town. Mavelikkara MP Kodikunnil Suresh, who has been communicating with Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw regularly on the matter, recently received a positive response from the latter. In a letter dated August 7, 2025, the railway minister assured the MP that the concerned directorate has been asked to examine the possibilities of operating train no. 16361/16362 Ernakulam-Velankanni-Ernakulam Express on daily basis. Following which, the MPs office is optimistic that the daily train to Velankanni would materialise soon. The annual festival of the shrine is held every year on September 8, the birthday of Mother Mary. Thousands take out a pilgrimage to Velankanni starting from the last week of August. From Kerala, the shrine can be reached by rail through train no. 16361 Ernakulam Junction-Velankanni Bi-weekly Express starting from Ernakulam at 1pm on Mondays and Saturdays to reach Velankanni at 5.40am the next day. In return direction, train no. 16362 Velankanni-Ernakulam Bi-weekly Express that leaves Velankanni at 6.40pm on Sundays and Tuesdays to reach Ernakulam at 11.40am the next day. Apart from this, there is only one weekly train from Vasco da Gama (Goa) to Velankanni that runs via Hubbali and Salem. Most travellers have to take connecting train or vehicles to reach Velankanni. David Christy DSouza from Manjeshwar, who went to Velankanni with his family recently, said, I had to spend `8,000 for a tempo traveller from Trichy to reach Velankanni as there are no direct trains, he said. Moreover, most believers find the journey to be cumbersome. Pilgrimages are usually taken by the elderly people who cant risk such connecting journeys, said Hanumantha Kamath from West Coast Rail Yatri Development Committee in Mangaluru.
