By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, SEPT. 8. The Federation of Welfare Associations of Pallavapuram has decided to field candidates from its affiliate associations in the local bodies elections.

A federation release said the members had decided to put-up candidates as they would be more sensitive to the needs of the people and would also be free from corrupt practices. Member- associations have been asked to choose candidates for councillors and that of chairman by tomorrow.

Those chosen would have to furnish a written declaration assuring members that they would refrain from corrupt practices, uphold democratic norms and remain accountable to their association and federation. Affiliate associations of the federation had endorsed the resolutions to field candidates.

The president, Mr. V. Santhanam, said a manifesto detailing the federation achievements and future plans would be released shortly.
