Uproarious scenes in Thrissur Corporation

By Our Staff Reporter

THRISSUR, JUNE 8. The meeting of the Thrissur Corporation council today witnessed uproarious scenes, as the Opposition councillors demanded an immediate discussion on the increasing pollution at the waste disposal centre of the Corporation at Laloor.

The Mayor, K. Radhakrishnan, who was in the chair, said that the issue cannot be discussed now and if the Opposition wanted it, the matter could be debated at next meeting of the council after including it in the agenda.

He appealed for the members' cooperation to pass the agenda of today's meeting. However, the Opposition insisted on an immediate discussion on the issue, as the plight of the people of Laloor had become worse with the onset of monsoon.

When the Mayor refused to accept their demand, the Opposition councillors moved towards the well of the council shouting slogans.

The Mayor then announced that the entire items in the agenda had been passed and adjourned the council.

Following this, the Opposition councillors staged a dharna in front of the Mayor's office.
