Mon Nov 18 15:27:21 UTC 2024: ## CPI(M) Flagpole Stolen Ahead of Kasaragod Conference

**Kasaragod, Kerala – November 18, 2024** – A flagpole intended for the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] area conference in Anangoor was stolen on Monday, prompting a police investigation. The theft, reported by CPI(M) area secretary K.A. Muhammad Haneef, occurred near the Surendran Smriti Mandapam at Kudlu, a known BJP stronghold. The flagpole, concealed under tarpaulin after preparations were completed, vanished by Monday evening. CPI(M) activists allege the theft, requiring the effort of several individuals due to the pole’s size and weight, couldn’t have happened without the BJP’s knowledge. Police, including a dog unit, are investigating the incident. The CPI(M) area conference is scheduled to continue until November 20th.
