The Hindu
Jafar Malik at helm of Ernakulam district
Priority would be accorded to welfare of students and marginalised sections of society, Jafar Malik, who assumed charge as District Collector of Ernakulam on Monday evening, said. S. Suhas, who was appointed MD of RBDCK, handed over charge of Collector to Mr. Malik. Steps would be taken so that officials of the Health department would work in tandem with Kudumbashree, anganwadi and Asha workers, to help provide educational and other support to students affected by the pandemic. Issues across the district would be redressed by ensuring the cooperation of all government employees. Measures would also be taken for making constructive intervention in the State government’s projects. In addition, land acquisition would be completed in a time-bound manner, Mr. Malik said.
