Municipal secretary goes on long leave
Amidst wrangling between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led ruling council and the rival fronts, the Pandalam municipality appears to be sinking into a deeper crisis with no official ready to hold charge as secretary of the civic body.
Municipal secretary S. Jayakumar has been on leave since September 9 soon after handing over a letter to the Department of Local Self-Government, seeking a dissolution of the administrative council for its failure to get the annual budget passed before March 31. According to the letter, the budget presented on March 22 did not comply with various sections of the Kerala Municipalities Act of 1994.
