KALLAMBALAM: A clash broke out last night between the activists of BJP and CPM in connection with the destruction of festoons. A hartal is being observed in Karavaram panchayat and Kallambalam in protest against the incident. The issue started at the conclusion of the Kilimanoor area meeting convened at the Karavaram panchayat yesterday.

Some BJP activists gathered there after CPM leader Kodiyeri Balakrishnan made a statement against the prime minister while inaugurating the meet. Some messy scenes were witnessed and when Suresh, Karavaram panchayat member, tried to intervene and calm the situation, a stone was hurled at him. The situation turned worse and the police later intervened.

Suresh has been admitted in the medical college hospital and a case has been registered against five.
