Ward-wise list to be published in the respective zonal offices on Monday
As many as 642 individuals residing within the Corporation limits have been identified as poor in the survey conducted as part of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s programme to alleviate acute poverty. Corporation Welfare Standing Committee Chairperson S. Salim presented the list in a council meeting held online on Saturday.
The ward-wise list will be published in the respective zonal offices on Monday. Objections to the list can be filed within seven days. The main aim of the programme is to identify destitute families and bring them above the poverty line through various projects at the grassroots level.
