N.S. Sivaprasad takes charge as Alappuzha district panchayat vice-president

N.S. Sivaprasad of the Communist Party of India (CPI) was sworn in vice-president of the Alappuzha district panchayat on Thursday. District panchayat president K.G. Rajeshwari administered the oath of office.

Mr. Sivaprasad, representing the Vayalar division in the local body, was elected unopposed. The election was necessitated following the resignation of Bipin C. Babu of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] from the post as per an earlier agreement between the CPI and CPI(M) for sharing the post.

Agriculture Minister P. Prasad, CPI district secretary T.J. Anjelose, Kanjikuzhy block panchayat president V.G. Mohanan and others attended a felicitation programme held following the swearing-in ceremony.
