Expletives shared between deputy mayor and health supervisor, shocking scenes inside Thiruvananthapuram corporation

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A bitter exchange of words regarding the transfer of an employee soon transcended to expletives and threats between deputy mayor P K Raju and corporation health supervisor Biju. The issue spiraled out of hand and ended with the mayor suspending Biju after the deputy mayor gave the threat of resigning. The issue started after a mosquito worker belonging to the left union was transferred with no consent from the higher officials. The verbal tirade took place inside the corporation, just a day before the council meeting.

The health supervisor asked the mosquito worker to bring down some important files from the second floor of the office. Meanwhile, the worker denied the request mentioning his ill health. The supervisor again ordered the file to be brought down but was denied repeatedly by the worker. The provocation soon ended up with the worker getting a transfer to the fort zone office.

The decision soon invited complaints that reached the left organization and the deputy mayor. The latter called the health supervisor and beseeched to take back the order. The health supervisor didn't abide by the request that drifted to its dark side ending up in verbal tirades and expletives between the two officials of the corporation. Mayor Arya Rajendran was forced to suspend the health supervisor after threats emerged from the deputy mayor about resigning. Meanwhile, the workers and staffs claim it was the deputy mayor who hurled profanities at the health official.
