A special council meeting will be called by the City Corporation to
discuss the draft master plan for 2031. This was announced by Mayor K
Chandrika in the Corporation Council meeting held on Friday. The
confusion prevailing in the areas coming under the plan situated on the
city outskirts is to be discussed in the meeting.
The Corporation
secretary was entrusted with the task of taking emergency action in ten
days against the allegation that hotel The Leela, Kovalam had encroached
on the ‘puramboke’ land and has been using it as a parking lot. The
opposition UDF councillors raised the issue and said that the hotel is
also collecting unauthorised parking fees without having the licence
from the Corporation for the purpose.
The UDF also came out
against the Mayor for temporarily staying the proceedings of the
Corporation against institutions functioning in buildings without
licence. The opposition demanded that the list of such institutions
should be brought out. In response, the Mayor said that the matter of
such temporary stays will be discussed in the very next council meeting
after issuing the stays.
As part of issuing new TC numbers to
buildings in the Corporation area, the numbering process will begin soon
under the aegis of the health inspectors and junior health inspectors
in the circles.
All adjournment motions presented in the council were approved.
