Milma board: Dramatic scenes as governing body resumes charge

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: High drama ensued after the Milma Union governing committee arrived to assume charge, following a High Court order. When the union arrived at 3:00 PM, none of the key officials—including the Managing Director—were present. After waiting for four hours, the governing committee—acting on legal advice—procured a new register, recorded the minutes, and formally assumed charge.

Around 3:15 PM, nine LDF members, led by Chairperson Mani Viswanath, arrived at the Milma office to resume their duties. No officials in charge were present at the time. Subsequently, the event was recorded in the official minutes, accompanied by a copy of the court order.

"The court order is not a setback. The court has directed that the regulations pertaining to the Cooperative Department be followed. We will take action accordingly," said Minister Bindu Krishna
