Former editor R. Rajagopal receives renewed passport after ordeal
Former editor R. Rajagopal has received his renewed passport following a period where its renewal was blocked. The denial was reportedly linked to the deletion of his name from electoral rolls, a process known as SIR (Systematic Voter's Education and Electoral Registration) deletion. This situation led to nationwide outrage and criticism. Following the controversy, Rajagopal's passport was renewed. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan welcomed the move.
