THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The organiser of School Youth festival had cancelled the valuation done by poet Deepa Nishanth who was one of the judges for essay writing competition in the recently concluded State School youth festival in Alappuzha.

Soon after this director Mithun Immanuel came out to criticise Deepa. “Don’t forget that there is righteousness. Deepa should have pull herself back from the judges’ panel.”
If you had taken part in at least a zonal competition of School youth festival or university youth festival, you should not have donned the role of a judge in the competition… Just stating a fact…that’s all,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
