Kollam: Kollam Corporation has imposed a huge fine on CPM for erecting flags and flex boards in the city in connection with the state conference. The Kollam Corporation has imposed a fine of Rs 3.5 lakh in a notice issued to the district secretary.
The fine is for erecting 20 flex boards and 2500 flags in connection with the state conference. The corporation had not taken a decision on paying the fee and sought permission. The CPM also did not inform the decision on paying the fine. The corporation is governed by the LDF governing body.
The High Court had strongly criticized the CPM on Thursday, stating that it cannot turn a blind eye when it comes to Kollam. The court had said that more than 200 complaints were received against the erection of the boards and the complainants were afraid to even name those responsible. The corporation then imposed a fine on the CPM.
