Councillors test skills on ground
TIRUCHI: A section of councillors of the Tiruchi Corporation proved their mettle in various games and events organised as part of the Local Administration Day observation, here on Saturday.
Cutting across party lines
The councillors, for once rose above party differences, to have a gala time, indulging in friendly banter. They also exhibited their skills in events such as 100 metres race, cricket, volleyball and badminton. About 20 councillors and Mayor S.Sujatha participated in the contests.
Earlier, Ms.Sujatha and T.T.Balsamy, Corporation Commissioner, inaugurated the events.
Winners of the contests would be presented prizes on the Local Administration Day on November 1. A couple of more events such as tug of war and musical chair are scheduled to be held during the valedictory function on the day.
The Corporation has also organised essay writing and oratorical competitions for students of its schools in the city.
