Pugalur Municipality Chairman Gunasekaran (DMK), Vice-Chairman Prathapan and 21 other councillors staged a sit-in protest at the municipal office on Wednesday, demanding the transfer of the Commissioner and the Manager.

The councillors alleged that Municipal Commissioner Venkatachalam had been delaying action on petitions submitted by residents, resulting in a standstill in development works in the municipality.

They also alleged that the municipality had failed to issue property tax receipts to beneficiaries who had received free house-site pattas in the Pugazhimalai area. The Commissioner was also accused of not treating sanitation workers properly.

Demanding the immediate transfer of Mr. Venkatachalam and Municipal Manager Naina Mohamed, the councillors began their sit-in at the municipal council hall.

The protest was joined by 22 councillors belonging to the DMK, Congress, Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the BJP.

Later in the evening, Aravakurichi MLA Elango and Karur Revenue Divisional Officer Karthikeyan held talks with the protesters. The RDO assured them that he would consult the District Collector on the proposed transfer of the Commissioner and communicate a decision within a week.

Following the assurance, the councillors called off their protest.
