Protest march to SP office

July 27, 2010 08:11 pm | Updated 08:11 pm IST - MALAPPURAM:

The Solidarity Youth Movement took out a protest march to the office of the District Superintendent of Police here on Tuesday demanding that the culprits of the Nilambur train sabotage attempt be brought to book.

Inaugurating the march, solidarity district president Saleem Mambad said the police should not delay or be lax in nabbing those responsible for the sabotage attempt. The brake pipes of a passenger train were found cut a couple of weeks ago at the Nilambur station.

Although the police launched an investigation, no breakthrough had been made so far, he said.

Jama'at-e-Islami district secretary Avaru Master and solidarity district secretary P. Muneeb addressed the marchers. Solidarity public relations secretary Ameen Annara welcomed the gathering.

About 300 activists took part in the march. The march began from the Kottappadi grounds and was blocked by the police before it reached the superintendent's office.
