PIL plea challenges govt.’s decision to upgrade panchayat union to municipality
When Kollancode became a town panchayat in 1977, the residents were promised that the upgrade would bring many amenities and better infrastructure. But the residents say they were let down “as nothing much materialised” on this coastal belt.
When it was announced a few months back that Kollencode with 21 wards and Ezhudesam with 11 wards would be merged to form Kollencode Municipality, they were infuriated.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
