Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala government is planning to put Chief Minister Oommen Chandy under Z category security after an attack injured him in Kannur yesterday.
It was proposed to provide 'Z' category security Mr to Chandy, but a final decision in this regard would be taken only after consultation with Chief Minister, Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan told reporters.
"What happened during the CPI-led LDF opposition protest was a well-planned one as LDF volunteers were blocking Mr Chandy's official engagements across the state for the past five months", he said.
LDF under the cover of showing black flags had virtually indulged in violence and so far 207 police personnel had been injured in the last five months at various places, he said.
Refuting reports that security lapse led to the incident, Radhakrishnan said in view of intelligence report that there would be trouble in Kannur, "unprecedented" security measures were taken during yesterday's meeting.
So far 21 persons have been arrested in connection with the incident and all of them were CPI-M activists, he said.
