Summary:
The council denied the approval for the two firms saying Sub Collector Snehil Kumar Singh, who is in charge of the demolition of apartments, ‘insulted’ the council. This is the second time the council is rejecting the decision taken by the technical committee to appoint the two companies to carry out demolition. Last Saturday, the council had denied the nod for the two companies saying the proposal was not included in the council’s agenda. Speaking to TNIE, T H Nadeera, chairperson of Maradu municipality, said the first emergency council meeting held last Saturday was to clear the apprehension of councillors regarding the demolition. The councillors from both the ruling and opposition parties also lashed out at the sub-collector saying that the Maradu municipality will not take any responsibility on the demolition of buildings..
