`Open CBI court'

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, FEB. 1 . The CBI court that had been allotted for Thiruvananthapuram by the Centre two years ago has remained a non-starter because of the State Government's neglect, the CPI Advocates' Branch, Vanchiyoor, has said. As the State Government did not have any financial commitments in this regard, immediate steps should be taken to open the court, the advocates demanded. Thiruvananthapuram is the only capital city without a CBI court, they said.
