Panchayat suspends felicitation event for rescue workers
- | Saturday | 23rd June, 2018
Panchayat sources said the event would be hosted later in consultation with other political party leaders and volunteers. They also argued that 15 affected families were yet to be shifted to the rented houses from the relief camps and it should be given first priority. The UDF leadership alleged that the panchayat was in a haste to organise the event at Perambra without even attending to the basic rehabilitation needs of affected families in the region. As the UDF decided to boycott the event, the panchayat called it off. Following opposition from the United Democratic Front (UDF) leadership, a felicitation event planned by the Kattippara panchayat to honour those who voluntarily took part in the rescue operations at Karinchola, where 14 persons were killed in a landslip, was suspended on Friday.
