The rates vary from hotel to hotel and most of them do not publish the price chart. The Council approved the resolution asking the State Government to take steps to stop the practice.

ROADS

Roads once again turned out to be a topic of discussion in the Council. UDF leader Maheswaran Nair said that the maintenance works listed by the previous Council led by C Jayan Babu have been removed from the list by the present Council. Works Standing Committee Chairman V S Padmakumar said that all works undertaken by the previous Council were completed by the present Council. If any works have been left out, they will be included in the Plan fund and carried out, he said. Some councillors alleged that though works were not done in their wards, they have been officially listed among wards where works have been carried out. Padmakumar said that all maintenance works will be scanned and details furnished before the next Council meeting.

PUBLIC MEETINGS

The Corporation is toying with the idea of levying a fee for using public places under its purview by private parties or political parties. Many places in Ambalathara and Peroorkada are being used by parties to hold public meetings or conduct rallies. The Corporation is thinking of charging a fee for such use, Deputy Mayor Happykumar told the Council. Presently, Poojappura grounds are not being let out for purposes other than sports. This would be reviewed at the all-party meeting to be held on Wednesday, the Deputy Mayor said.

BUILDING PERMIT ADALAT

The Corporation-level building permit adalat being conducted by the LSG Department following complaints over giving away of TC numbers to houses will be held on Wednesday and Saturday. While complaints in the city related to main office will be heard on Wednesday, those under 11 zonal offices will be held on Saturday. The adalat will be held from 10 am to 5 pm at the Corporation main office.
