A grievance redressal meeting is held every Tuesday at the main office of the Corporation. In the camp held yesterday, Mayor Kalpana, Corporation Commissioner Pratap and Deputy Commissioner Sharmila were receiving petitions.
At that time, in Kempty Colony under 81st Ward, Madhya Mandal, one party claimed that a family had occupied the public road leading to the temple, while the opposite party submitted a petition to the Mayor at the same time.
While the officers were investigating, both sides got into an argument and took turns blaming each other. At that time, one of the people who petitioned for the removal of encroachment suddenly fainted.
Everyone panicked as the woman who was splashing water on her face did not wake up. An auto was immediately called and the woman was sent to Coimbatore Government Hospital.
Commissioner Pratap, who was ‘tensioned’, ordered the officers of the Town Planning Division to investigate the complaint immediately and if there is encroachment, take steps to remove it. Due to this, there was a stir in the corporation for a while.
