Kannur Collector removed: ADM death: Kannur Collector removed from probe charge

Although he is in Kannur, the collector is unlikely to reach the office today. The service organizations have decided to protest strongly if they come to the office. The Thalassery Central Sessions Court will consider Divya’s bail plea on Monday.
