UT Khader expresses shock over Koorath Thangal’s demise
Mangaluru: The Muslim community is mourning the unexpected demise of Assayed Fazal Koyamma Thangal Koorath, the spiritual leader of the Coastal Muslim Community and Ullal Khazi. Speaker U T Khadar expressed his shock and sorrow over the news while addressing the media after paying his last respects to Koorath Thangal at his residence in Ettikulam near Payyannur on Monday.
"Sayyed had spoken to me only two days ago," Khadar said. "The news of his death, especially given that he had no prior health issues, has plunged the entire community into unbearable grief. Koorath Thangal was a pillar of spiritual support for many, offering guidance and solace to those in need. He treated everyone equally, regardless of caste, creed, poverty, or affluence. Thangal consistently preached the importance of reverence for the creator and mutual love and trust among people."
Speaker Khadar described Koorath Thangal as an exemplary person who stood firmly for truth. "The community, still grieving the loss of his father, Tajul Ulama, now faces renewed despondency with Thangal’s passing," he added.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
