Tensions Flare at Coimbatore City Council Meeting Over Project Resolutions

COIMBATORE: Tensions flared during the urgent council meeting of the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) on Friday, as councillors from the ruling DMK and the opposition AIADMK engaged in a heated exchange over the tabling of project resolutions whose tenders had allegedly been allocated months ago. The confrontation began soon after the meeting commenced when AIADMK floor leader R Prabhakaran (Ward 47) questioned the need for holding two urgent council meetings within a span of eight days. He criticised the civic administration for allegedly providing council subjects at the last minute and accused the mayor of rushing through resolutions without adequate discussion.
