Shameel pointed out that a large number of deserving people in his ward were not considered for the project citing technicalities. Congress councillor P.M. Niyas supported him stating that a large majority of deserving people, like differently-abled people, had been excluded as they had no place in the LIFE Mission data base because they did not fit into the listed categories. The meeting of the Kozhikode Corporation council on Wednesday witnessed heated arguments as a few councillors in the opposition alleged that the method for selecting beneficiaries for the LIFE housing scheme was unscientific. Earlier, BJP councillor Nambidi Narayanan presented a submission criticising the organising of large-scale entertainment programmes at S.K. He pointed out that the crowd at the entrance of the street was a disturbance to shoppers.
