Kerala Health Minister Veena George has claimed the Centre denied her permission to travel to Kuwait to coordinate relief efforts for Keralites affected by a fire incident. “What we just sought from the Centre was the permission to travel to Kuwait to stand with our people affected by the tragedy and coordinate activities there. That permission is denied,” George said.
