A protest by the Opposition councillors on Monday in the Thrissur Corporation against the poor quality of drinking water distributed in the corporation limits witnessed many dramatic situations.
Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party councillors alleged that even when the Corporation had been claiming that it had spent a huge sums of money on drinking water projects, people were supplied dirty water.
Protesting against the distribution of ‘muddy’ water, Congress councillors reached the council with an effigy of Mayor M.K. Varghese. They poured muddy water purportedly collected from drinking water pipes over the effigy. After the Mayor dismissed the meeting and tried to go in his car, Congress councillors tried to block him, some even lying in front of the vehicle.
