The ruling Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in the Perumbavoor municipality in Ernakulam district of Kerala on December 6 (Wednesday) alleged that the organisers of the ongoing Navakerala Sadas demolished a portion of the compound wall at the Government Boy’s Higher Secondary School at Perumbavoor without seeking the council’s approval.
The public outreach programme of the Kerala Cabinet is scheduled to be held at the venue on December 10. The Congress-led council had earlier rejected a demand by the organisers to demolish the compound wall, a flag mast and a concrete stage on the campus to ensure the smooth entry of the bus bringing the Chief Minister and other Ministers to the venue.
Biju John Jacob, chairman of the civic body, alleged that the workers of the Left front had demolished a 3-m-wide portion of the wall in violation of the norms and without seeking the approval of the council. “We strongly protest against the illegal act,” he said.
