L.S. Sigikrishna (AIADMK), Councillor, on Friday
attended a ‘parallel’ meeting of the Hosur Municipal Council called by
the Opposition at the Tamil Nadu Hotel, which ‘passed’ a resolution
condemning the actions of the Municipal Chairman.
A copy of the resolution was sent to officials and the Minister concerned.
The meeting was attended by 20 Councillors.
The
meeting was convened in protest against non allocation of funds to
Wards represented by Opposition Councillors. K. Subramani alias Ellora
Mani (Ward 33), a senior Councillor, ‘chaired’ the meeting.
In the meantime, the meeting convened by P. Balakrishna Reddy, Council Chairman, was attended by 24 Councillors.
Some of them complained that some construction companies were selling house properties without permission to the people.
Mr. Balakrishnan promised to take appropriate action.
A
monthly council meeting convened at the Krishnagiri Municipality was
reportedly cancelled by Chairman K.R.C. Thanga muthu on Thursday. The
meeting was called at 4 p.m. Opposition councillors came to the meeting
at 3.45 p.m. But no official or the chairman turned up for the meeting.
Municipal staff told the Councillors that the meeting was cancelled by
the chairman in the morning itself. Angered over this, some of the
Councillors threw chairs and left the council hall shouting slogans
against the chairman’s attitude.
Earlier, the
Councillors had met the District Collector and had submitted a petition
against the autocratic behaviour of the Municipal Chairman during
council meetings. They said many resolutions were passed without
discussion.
