Kochi Corporation Council meeting on Monday likely to be stormy

Special session to discuss issues related to waste management
The special session of the Kochi Corporation Council to be held on Monday is likely to be a stormy one with the Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) councillors likely to hold the civic administration accountable for its various acts.
The stance of the Communist Party of India (CPI) that the civic body needs to retender the bid for running the existing waste treatment plant has added power to the UDF campaign that all is not well on the waste management front.
The CPI is of the view that the technical bid submitted by the agency, which was selected for the job, was a faulty one and hence unacceptable. The civic administration needs to float the bid once again. The CPI had raised the issue at an earlier meeting of the council, said a party leader.
