After drawing flak from the State Audit department over an ‘exposure visit’ taken out by a delegation from the Left Democratic Front-ruled Alappuzha district panchayat to Kashmir in November 2022, local body president K.G. Rajeshwari on Friday denied any wrongdoing.
A 28-member delegation, including 20 people’s representatives, seven officials, and a representative of the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA), visited Kashmir from November 25, 2022 to December 1, 2022 as part of KILA’s initiative to expose local body members and officials to model initiatives under the Panchayati Raj system in different States.
