Kasaragod, Jul 14: Even as reports are emerging on the missing families from Kasaragod and Palakkad migrating to northern Syria, investigations by various Intelligence agencies have not obtained any solid lead to validate the theory.

“We are yet to come across any movement of families between Kerala and Syria for preaching Islamic orthodoxy,'' said a top intelligence officer. A Facebook page Olivin Charathu,' reported to have been opened by the missing persons, has been under active surveillance of the Intelligence agencies.

Interestingly, the Facebook page has openly declared its stance against Islamic State (IS) terror group. “In fact, we are not sure whether it is the same person who opened this page or somebody else,'' the official said.

Meanwhile, the investigators received more complaints about individuals missing from their families under suspicious circumstances. The sleuths launched a probe into the missing of a young woman from Andipillykkavu near North Paravur.

The woman, who had been married off to Varappuzha about six months ago, had left her family later and embraced Islam. As part of the investigation, sleuths met the woman's parents and her former husband to collect their statements.

Official sources said the State police had originally began collecting details about missing persons in Kerala from January this year, based on a warning on youths from Kerala being recruited to terror groups.

NIA deciphering WhatsApp messages

Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in New Delhi held a meeting on Tuesday to take stock of the situation in the wake of rumours over IS recruitments in Kerala.

The meeting, chaired by Intelligence Bureau Director Dineshwar Sharma, also saw Intelligence chiefs from other States sharing information reportedly relating to modules in the country with suspected IS links.

Kerala's Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) R. Sreelekha , who attended the one-day session, shared intelligence inputs from the State in this regard, the sources said.

According to sources, Central intelligence agencies have now begun deciphering the Telegram and WhatsApp messages received or are still being received by relatives from the missing youths.

Sources said that the Central agencies are now examining whether the disappearance of 22 persons, mainly from Kasaragod and Palakkad districts, was similar to other cases involving IS handlers in identification, radicalisation, recruitment, training and finally transferring Indian youths to countries such as Syria, Libya and Iraq.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.
