Kerala Minister Says She Was Not Allowed To Visit Kuwait For Fire Relief Ops | Read

Kerala Health Minister Veena George on Friday said that it was "unfortunate" that the Central government did not permit her to travel to Kuwait to coordinate assistance for the people from the State affected in the tragic fire mishap in the Gulf country. "It is very unfortunate that we did not get the consent (to travel to Kuwait). More than half of the people who died were from Kerala. The majority of the people who are under treatment are also from Kerala," Ms George told reporters at the Cochin International Airport here today.
