The Kerala Governor’s obduracy in not signing the Ordinance to strengthen the Local-Self Governments (LSG) is creating a serious crisis in the State, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has alleged.
Addressing media persons at the Kerala Institute of Local Administration at Mulangunnathukavu in Thrissur district on December 4 (Monday), Mr. Vijayan said the government has suggested many timely amendments in the Panchayat Act and the Municipality Act to strengthen the Local Self-Governments.
“Effective amendments in the Act for Waste Management, one of the major responsibilities of the local bodies, were suggested. It has been submitted as an Ordinance to the Governor. But he has not signed it yet. But the Opposition, which alleges that the government is destabilising the LSGs, has not protested against the Governor’s stand,” said Mr. Vijayan.
