UDF Govt neglecting Wayanad district: CPI-M

Kozhikode: CPI-M State secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan Monday charged the UDF Government with neglecting tribals in the neighbouring hilly Wayanad District and sought a special package for comprehensive development.

Inaugurating a blockade organised by the CPI-M district committee at Kalpetta protesting over the issue, he said though the government had announced various development projects none of them had been implmented so far.

A 'stuntedness' was seen in all spheres, including Tribal welfare and agricultural sector, Balakrishnan charged.

He urged the government to announce a special package for the comprehensive development of the district besides a special assembly session to discuss development aspects of the tribals.
