ANGRY: Municipal councillors raising slogans at Manapparai on Thursday. MANAPPARAI: All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazahagam (MDMK) councillors of Manapparai Municipal Council staged a walkout on Thursday, bringing the proceedings of the council’s monthly meeting to an abrupt end. The councillors staged the walkout for different reasons. While the AIADMK councillors condemned the State Government’s ‘failure’ in providing adequate security arrangements for their leader and former chief minister J. Jayalalithaa, the MDMK councillor staged the walk-out protesting the ‘lack of transparency’ in the municipality’s approval of tenders for the provision of basic amenities in the town. As soon as Chairperson E. V. K. Saroja, who presided over the meeting, took up the proceedings, MDMK councillor S. Pandi Meena questioned the propriety of a contractor executing the work on the provision of cement road sanctioned under the MLA Local Area Development Fund in her ward, long before the tenders were officially finalised. Shortly after submitting a memorandum to the Chairperson, she staged a walk-out. It was the turn of AIADMK councillors who voiced a serious concern over the ‘lapse’ of the State Government in ensuring security arrangements. The councillors, S. Raman, P. Chinnasamy and R. Rajarajeswari complained that the State Government had failed in providing security to the former chief minister. Selvi Ramamoorthy, Ayisha Sadiq and N. Vellaiammal spoke on the need for extending adequate security. Raising slogans, they staged a walk-out, urging the state government’s immediate action. The Chairperson said that the municipality had taken action on a war-footing to tackle the drought condition in the town. Deep bore-well and mini-power pumps had been set up at eight places as an emergency measure at an expenditure of Rs.5.10 lakh.
