Kochi: The Kollam Corporation has slapped a fine of Rs 3.5 lakh on the CPM
for displaying flags and flex boards for its state Conference despite Kerala High Court’s stern warning.
Corporation secretary had issued the notice to the party district secretary in this regard. The CPM has displayed 20 flex boards and 2,500 flags.
The CPM has reacted by saying that the party had made an application seeking permission for displaying flags and flex boards.
But the corporation did not give permission. The flags and banner do not hinder vision or create any hurdle to traffic movement.
The Kerala High Court had strongly condemned the use of flags and flex boards.
