Kannur: A statue of Mahatma Gandhi was vandalised by miscreants in Kerala's Kannur on Thursday.
The unidentified hooligans broke the spectacles on Gandhi’s statue in thaliperambu area of Kannur.
Taking a serious view of the desecration of statues in various parts of the country, the Home Ministry on Wednesday issued a second advisory, its second in the day, holding district magistrates and superintendents of police "personally responsible" for such incidents of vandalism.
The fresh advisory came a few hours after the ministry, in its first advisory, told all states and union territories that incidents of toppling and damaging of statues must be checked immediately and stern action should be taken to prevent such incidents.

రాజకీయాల నుంచి తప్పుకుంటున్నాను.
— Vijayasai Reddy V (@VSReddy_MP) January 24, 2025
రాజ్యసభ సభ్యత్వానికి రేపు 25వ తారీఖున రాజీనామా చేస్తున్నాను.
ఏ రాజకీయపార్టీ లోను చేరడంలేదు. వేరే పదవులో, ప్రయోజనాలో లేక డబ్బులో ఆశించి రాజీనామా చేరడంలేదు.
ఈ నిర్ణయం పూర్తిగా నా వ్యక్తి గతం. ఎలాంటి ఒత్తిళ్లు లేవు. ఎవరూ ప్రభావితం చెయ్యలేదు.…
