Kochi Corporation: Health chairperson faces no-trust motion

Based on the request the Collector will convene a meeting with the councillors "Though the health standing committee and the Corporation announced a slew of projects, most of them were non-starters," said leader of the Opposition K J Antony."Even after imposing the plastic ban, it is still available in the market and the Corporation is turning a blind eye to it. Though the cleaning drive has to be done on a timely basis, the health standing chairperson took a lethargic attitude and that resulted in the spurt in mosquito menace in the city. Even though we have brought the sad state of Brahmapuram before the council, the Corporation turned a blind eye to it. Even after the fire broke out at the plant, they have not initiated any steps," said K J Antony, Opposition Leader. If the LDF manages to win the no-confidence motion, the UDF would lose its chairperson candidate and that will gradually affect the administration of the city. "Based on the request, a discussion would be carried out on January 28.If it does not come well, we will go for voting," said Safirulla when asked about the further steps in this regard. Meanwhile, the LDF is also planning to come out with a similar measure against other standing committee chairpersons such as Development Committee, Work Committee and Town Planning Committee. Though Express tried to contact the Mayor and Health Standing Committee chairperson, they were unavailable for comments.
