Believers Church head KP Yohannan passes away after car accident in US
PATHANAMTHITTA: Believers Eastern Church Metropolitan Moran Mor Athanasius Yohan, also known as KP Yohannan, who was critically injured in a car accident in the US, passed away due to a sudden cardiac arrest, official church spokesperson said on Wednesday. He passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest in a hospital in Dallas, Texas, where he had been receiving treatment since his accident, a Church official said. He was 74. He was under intensive care at a hospital in Dallas, Texas following the accident that happened during his morning walk. Beloved Archbishops, Bishops, Fathers and all the Faithful With profound grief and sorrow, we would like inform that His Holiness Athanasius Yohan I our honorable Metropolitan reposed in the Lord this evening, the 8th of May 2024. He passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest in a hospital in Dallas, Texas where he had been receiving treatment since his accident. Further details will be announced soon by the Holy Synod. May his memory be eternal!, a Facebook post shared by Believers Eastern Church read. Church spokesperson Father Sijo Pandapallil also confirmed it in an official statement. On Tuesday, at around 5.25 pm IST, Yohan was out for a morning walk. Usually, he goes for morning walk in the believers' church campus in Dallas. However, at the time of the accident, he was on a county road, which had no walkway, he said. According to the church official, a surgery had been performed on Yohan's lungs and he was on medical observation for 24 hours. Soon after the accident, police rushed to the spot and he was airlifted to a Dallas hospital. Pandapallil had said, that though there is not much clarity about the accident, it is not a hit-and-run case and prima facie there is nothing suspicious. The police have also recovered the vehicle that hit the Metropolitan and registered a case, he said. Born as K P Yohannan in 1950 in the village of Niranam near Thiruvalla, he dedicated his life to serving God after finishing high school. In obedience to the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ, he then spent the next eight years of his life proclaiming the gospel and doing charitable works in South Asia, a church document said. Receiving theological training in the US in the 1970s, Yohannan founded a missionary organisation, which eventually became one of the largest missionary and church-planting movements in many Asian nations. On February 6, 2003, he was consecrated and elevated as the Metropolitan of the Believers Eastern Church. In accordance with the Orthodox Christian tradition, he took the name Athanasius Yohan in honor of his beloved patron saints, St Athanasius, the defender of orthodoxy, and St John (Yohan) the Apostle and Evangelist. Under his leadership, the church has grown over the last two decades, with more than 12,000 parishes established in Asia and Africa. He is also the founding patron of the St Ignatius Theological Seminary, the Believers Church Residential School, and the Believers Church Medical College & Hospital in Thiruvalla.

FIR against Kerala Congress MLA for Suspected Unlawful Land Transactions
FIR against Kerala Congress MLA for Suspected Unlawful Land Transactions An FIR has been lodged by the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau against Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan and 20 others in connection with alleged illegal conversion and registration of land in Chinnakanal area of this hilly Kerala district. A senior VACB officer said on Wednesday that a preliminary enquiry by the agency found that the Muvattupuzha MLA's resort was located on surplus land which could not have been converted or registered. The land in question was converted and registered much before Kuzhalnadan purchased it in 2020, but it is suspected he was aware about it when he bought it, the officer said. Hence, the MLA has been arrayed as the 16th accused in the case which was registered on Tuesday, he said. Besides Kuzhalnadan, three retired government servants, including a former Tehsildar of the area, and five in-service government employees are also arrayed as accused in the FIR, the officer said. ''The FIR was submitted in the vigilance court today,'' he added. The officer also said that besides the issue of alleged illegal conversion and registration of the surplus land, Kuzhalnadan is also in unlawful possession of 53 cents of government land which had been encroached upon by the previous owners. The accused in the FIR have been booked for various offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act, the IPC and the Land Conservancy Act, the officer said. Allegations of illegalities in connection with Kuzhalnadan's resort in Chinnakanal area of Idukki district cropped up after he accused Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter, Veena T, and her now defunct IT firm of receiving monthly payments from a private mining company. Kuzhalnadan's accusations came in the wake of a Malayalam daily's report that the Kochi-based mining company CMRL had paid a total of Rs 1.72 crore to the CM's daughter between 2017 and 2020. The report cited the ruling of an interim board for settlement and said that CMRL previously had an agreement with Veena's IT firm for consulting and software support services. It was also alleged that though no service was rendered by her firm, the amount was paid on a monthly basis ''due to her relationship with a prominent person''.

K Sudhakaran Resumes Role as Head of Kerala Congress
K Sudhakaran Resumes Role as Head of Kerala Congress Amidst reports of strong displeasure and objection raised by a section of leaders, veteran leader K Sudhakaran on Wednesday took over as president of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee after a brief interval. He was given a warm welcome by his admirers at the party headquarters here by draping shawls and raising slogans. However, prominent leaders, including M M Hassan, who was serving as the acting president of the KPCC in the absence of Sudhakaran, were conspicuous by their absence when he came to take charge. Earlier in the day, Sudhakaran visited veteran leader A K Antony at his residence before assuming office. As per the direction of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), Sudhakaran had temporarily handed over the post to Hassan following his candidature from Kannur constituency in the recent Lok Sabha polls. There were reports that the party leadership had asked him to wait until the election results come out next month to resume charges as KPCC Chief following an objection raised by a group of state leaders. However, state and national leaders had rejected the reports and said Hassan was given the charge as part of a temporary arrangement. While addressing a press conference after taking charges, Sudhakaran also dismissed media reports about the rift within the party over his comeback. Replying to questions, he said he took over the charge as per the direction of the AICC. When reporters asked about the absence of Hassan, he said the senior leader might have felt that his presence was not needed in the function. ''But I wished for his presence there,'' Sudhakaran said. When reporters asked whether there was any delay in getting him back to the post of KPCC Chief, he said, ''All these decisions are taken by the AICC.'' ''And it depends on each individual when they will hand over a post back,'' he added. Sudhakaran is seeking his electoral luck for a second consecutive term from the politically volatile Kannur during the recently concluded LS poll.

Kerala Health department issues alert after West Nile fever cases surface
Kerala Health department issues alert after West Nile fever cases surface
West Nile Fever Cases in Kerala Puts State on Alert: How Does the Virus Spread?
The Kerala health department issued an alert directing all district officials to increase surveillance activities.
West Nile fever is a viral infection transmitted primarily by mosquitoes. The virus belongs to the Flavivirus genus and is typically spread to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes, particularly those of the Culex species. The Kerala Outbreak In recent times, Kerala, a state in southern India known for its lush greenery, backwaters, and diverse wildlife, has been grappling with a rapid spread of West Nile fever. The outbreak has raised concerns among health authorities and the public alike. Mosquitoes: The Likely Culprits Mosquitoes have long been known as vectors for various diseases, and West Nile fever is no exception. The primary mode of transmission for the West Nile virus is through the bite of infected mosquitoes. In Kerala, where mosquitoes are prevalent, their role in spreading the disease is significant. Symptoms of West Nile Fever Fever: One of the hallmark symptoms of West Nile fever is fever, often accompanied by chills. Headache: Individuals infected with the West Nile virus may experience severe headaches. Body Aches: Muscle aches and joint pain are common symptoms of the infection. Fatigue: Feelings of tiredness and fatigue are frequently reported by those with West Nile fever. Nausea and Vomiting: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Skin Rash: A rash may develop in some cases, particularly in children. Swollen Lymph Nodes: Swelling of lymph nodes, especially in the neck, may occur. Neurological Symptoms: In severe cases, individuals may develop neurological symptoms such as stiff neck, confusion, tremors, seizures, and paralysis. Risk Factors Certain factors may increase the risk of developing severe West Nile fever: Age: Older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk. Exposure: Spending time outdoors in areas with high mosquito activity increases the risk of exposure to the virus. Time of Year: West Nile virus transmission peaks during the summer and early fall when mosquito activity is high. Prevention and Control Measures To reduce the risk of West Nile fever, it's essential to take preventive measures: Mosquito Control: Implementing mosquito control measures, such as eliminating standing water breeding sites and using insect repellents, can help reduce mosquito populations. Protective Clothing: Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and using mosquito nets can provide additional protection against mosquito bites. Avoid Peak Mosquito Hours: Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk, so avoiding outdoor activities during these times can lower the risk of bites. Vaccination: While there is no specific vaccine for West Nile virus, vaccines for other mosquito-borne diseases such as Japanese encephalitis may be available in certain regions. Conclusion As West Nile fever continues to spread rapidly in Kerala, understanding its symptoms and mode of transmission is crucial for effective prevention and control. By taking proactive measures to reduce mosquito populations and protect against bites, individuals can lower their risk of contracting this potentially serious illness.

Cabin Crew Shortage Forces AI Express to Cancel 80 Flights, Leaving Passengers Stranded
Cabin Crew Shortage Forces AI Express to Cancel 80 Flights, Leaving Passengers Stranded Air India Express has cancelled more than 80 flights since Tuesday night with a section of senior cabin crew reporting sick to protest against alleged mismanagement at the Tata Group-owned airline, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at various airports in the country. Scores of Air India Express passengers, mostly scheduled to travel to the Gulf nations, protested at airports in Kerala against last-minute flight cancellations. Some of them claimed that they were informed about the cancellations after the completion of security checks. On Wednesday, sources told PTI that more than 200 cabin crew are believed to have reported sick to protest against the alleged mismanagement at the airline. The cabin crew shortage has resulted in the cancellation of at least more than 80 flights since Tuesday night and scores of flights were delayed. Flight disruptions are happening at various airports, including Kochi, Calicut, Delhi and Bengaluru, they added. An Air India Express spokesperson said the airline is engaging with the cabin crew members to understand the reasons for reporting sick and also apologised for the flight disruptions. Discontent has been brewing among a section of the cabin crew at the low-cost carrier for some time now, especially after the start of the process to merge AIX Connect, formerly AirAsia India, with itself. The sources also said there was chaos at some airports due to the sudden cancellation of flights, including to overseas destinations. The airline is to operate 360 daily flights during the summer schedule that started in the last week of March. ''A section of our cabin crew has reported sick at the last minute, starting last night, resulting in flight delays and cancellations. ''While we are engaging with the crew to understand the reasons behind these occurrences, our teams are actively addressing this issue to minimise any inconvenience caused to our guests as a result,'' the Air India Express spokesperson said in a statement. Apologising to the customers for the ''unexpected disruption'', the spokesperson said those impacted by the cancellations will be offered a full refund or complimentary rescheduling to another date. Late last month, a union representing a section of the Air India Express cabin crew alleged that the airline is being mismanaged and there is a lack of equality in the treatment of the staff. Air India Express Employees Union (AIXEU), a registered union, which claims to represent around 300 cabin crew members, mostly seniors, had also alleged that mismanagement of the affairs has affected the morale of the employees. The development at Air India Express comes a month after Tata Group full-service carrier Vistara witnessed pilot woes, forcing it to temporarily cut down capacity by 10 per cent or 25-30 flights daily. On Wednesday, a woman passenger, who was to travel from Kannur to Sharjah with twin babies and her husband on an Air India Express flight, said she has to rejoin work on May 9, but the airline was offering her a flight from Kochi only on May 10. ''What would be the point in me travelling on May 10? If I do not reach there before May 9, my boss will say not to come and I will lose my job,'' she told the media. ''Guests flying with us today are requested to check if their flight is affected, before heading to the airport,'' the airline spokesperson said. As part of consolidating its airline business, Tata Group is merging Air India Express and AIX Connect, as well as Vistara with Air India.

CBI Arrested 4 Persons for Trafficking of Indian Nationals for Combat Role in Russian Army
New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two accused persons Arun and Yesudas Junior alias Priyan, both resident of Trivandrum, Kerala in case related to trafficking of Indian nationals for combat role in Russian army. On April 24, 2024, two other accused persons - Nijil Jobi Bensam of Kanyakumari and Anthony Michael Elangovan of Mumbai were arrested in this case and sent to Judicial Custody. The CBI, on March 6, 2024, had busted a major human trafficking network running across the country targeting gullible youths on the promise of offering lucrative jobs abroad.

Thereafter, the trafficked Indian Nationals were trained in combat roles and deployed at front bases in Russia - Ukraine War Zone against their wishes, thus, putting their lives in grave danger. It has been ascertained that some of the victims also got grievously injured in the war zone. A case of human trafficking was registered against private visa consultancy firms and agents who were involved in trafficking of Indian nationals to Russia under the guise of better employment and high paying jobs. The human trafficking network of these agents is spread over several States across the country and beyond. Accused Nijil Jobi Bensam was working in Russia on contract basis as translator and was one of the key members of the network operating in Russia for facilitating recruitment of Indian nationals in Russian army. Accused Michael Anthony was facilitating his coaccused Faisal Baba based in Dubai and others based in Russia in getting the visa processing done in Chennai and booking the air tickets for victims to go to Russia. Arun and Yesudas Junior were the main recruiters of Indian nationals belonging to Kerala and Tamil Nadu for Russian Army. Investigation is continuing against other accused persons who are part of this international network of human traffickers.
