Youth Congress workers under the banner of the Malappuram Parliament Committee took out a march to the KSEB circle office at Manjeri on Monday in protest against the failure of the KSEB in remitting to
Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) the ₹126 crore collected from its employees through salary challenge for the last year’s flood relief.
Inaugurating the march, Youth Congress Parliament Committee president Riyas Mukkoli said that it was a shame that the LDF had diverted the funds collected for the State’s flood relief. He said the KSEB had diverted the funds without depositing it in the CMDRF.
“The concerns raised from various quarters about donating to the CMDRF have proved right,” he said.
The police stopped the march in front of the KSEB circle office. Youth Congress leaders C.K. Haris, Umer Cholayil, Husain Vallanchira, and Haneefa Pulloor spoke.
