The political climate in Kannur intensified as clashes erupted on Tuesday between the police and Youth Congress (YC) workers attempting to march to the venue of the Navakerala Sadas near the Kannur Collectorate.

The march was organised following the incident in which Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) workers allegedly assaulted Youth Congress workers who were protesting by waiving a black flag at Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other Cabinet Ministers at Pazhayangadi. The Youth Congress had announced its intention to march again to the venue of the Navakerala Sadas.
