Khammam civic body meet ends in pandemonium

Khammam: The general body meeting of Khammam Municipal Corporation was marred by protests by the opposition party corporators on Wednesday. The corporators of ruling party and the opposition indulged in slugfest on the day.  

The agenda was designed last month for the meeting to be held on January 29. However, the meeting was postponed for inevitable reasons and opposition corporators have objected to the creation of a new agenda this time without continuing the contents of the old agenda.

Opposition corporators attempted to sneak into the podium on removing the contents of the old agenda and raised anti-government slogans. There was a fight between the ruling and opposition corporators while MLA Ajay Kumar was in the House.

Opposition corporators have claimed that Mayor did not answer the questions raised by the opposition during the previous session. The Congress corporators, including Narsimha Rao, Gangadhar Tilak, Deepak Chowdhury and CPM corporators Afroz Sultana and Erra Shailaja walked out of the meeting. The corporators sat in front of Khammam Municipal Corporation office and protested for over an hour.
