Karimnagar: The general body meeting of Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar, passed a unanimous resolution demanding that the central government purchase each and every grain produced during Yasangi and Rabi seasons in the state. The general body meeting, held under the chair of Mayor Y Sunil Rao here on Thursday, adopted the resolution in the wake of the union government’s refusal to procure paddy crop from the state.
The Mayor placed the proposed resolution in the general body meeting, which passed a unanimous resolution with the members supporting the proposal. Noisy scenes were witnessed for sometime, with the BJP corporators staging demonstrations with empty pots and holding placards in protest against drinking water scarcity in the town.

The BJP members were demonstrating only because they wanted some publicity, he charged. The BJP corporators withdrew their protest when the Mayor asked opposition members not to sidetrack the meeting.
Later, the general body discussed 197 subjects such as roads, drainages, drinking water supply, pigs, dogs and monkey menace, haritha haram, street lights, removal of electricity poles and others.
