Karimnagar: Noisy scenes took place in Zilla Parishad general body meeting when the members opposed a co-option member’s protest in the meeting hall. General body meeting was held under the chair of ZP chairperson Kanumalla Vijaya at ZP meeting hall here on Wednesday.

Responding to the issue, Manakondur ZPTC Thallapalli Shekhar Goud said that it was not proper on the part of co-option member to waste the precious time of the ZP general body meeting aimed to discuss the public issues.

When Shukr Uddin tried to speak by interrupting chairperson, Shakhar Goud advised cooption member to attend meetings by studying ZP rules.

He also requested the ZP chairperson to suspend co-option member for spoiling the decorum of the ZP meeting. Based on members’ request, the chairperson suspended Shukr Uddin from the house. Later, speaking to media, Shukr Uddin said that though it was a routine practice to sanction funds to cooption members, the present ZP was not allocating funds to them. He staged the protest for his legitimate right, he informed.
