Corporation resolution seeks check on prices in Supplyco
Corporation asks State to monitor prices in Supplyco stores
The Kozhikode Municipal Corporation Council on Wednesday
passed a resolution urging the State government to withdraw the
increase in the prices of essential commodities in the Supplyco stores.
M.Radhakrishnan
of CPI(M) who presented the adjournment motion said that the prices of
commodities in Supplyco stores have risen so much that they match the
prices in other stores.
He said that there was
already a steep price rise during Eid-ul-Fitr and another steep rise so
soon would burn the pockets of the common man. Councillor V. Sudheer of
the CPI(M) said that the price rise was normal during the Onam season,
but the State government did not have the political will power to
control it like in earlier years. Councillors Zakariya P. Hussain
(Congress), P.Avaran (IUML), C.P.Salim (Congress), Janamma Kunhunni
[(CPI(M)] and K.Balagopalan (Congress) spoke on the occasion. To lighten
up the situation, Councillor K. Ravindran of CPI(M) recited a poem by
Vyloppilly Sreedhara Menon. The motion was unanimously passed. Later the
Council passed a 170-point agenda. The councillors T. Moideen Koya
[CPI(M)], Nabeesa Seithu (IUML), T.P.Koya Moideen [CPI(M)], Beeran Koya
[CPI(M)], T.Hassan [CPI(M)], C.P.Salim (Congress), P.Kishenchand (SJ-D)
and N.C.Moinkutty (SJ-D) presented calling attention motions regarding
issues in their respective wards.
