Shanmugham at the Congress office on allocation of wards to the PMK in civic polls here. The delegation also submitted to Mr. Shanmugham a list of areas in Municipalities and Commune panchayats where the PMK had better chances and where it intended to field its candidates.

Earlier Mr. Ramadoss said in a release that the committee consisting these members had had a meeting under his leadership and perused the applications received from the party men who intended to contest the civic polls. The meeting also considered the winnable seats in the municipalities and in the panchayats.

Mr. Ramadoss said that with a view to ensuring better performance in the civic polls each of the five members attached to the committee had been nominated to the areas for personal concentration.

The convenor of the Pondicherry State unit of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam R.V. Janakiraman along with the newly elected legislators of the party had already held discussions with the PCC leader a few days ago.
