THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Corporation office here turned a stage of conflict as opposition parties barged in demanding the resignation of Mayor Arya Rajendran over the letter controversy. The police lathi-charged the Mahila Morcha activists and also fired water cannons at the protesters. BJP councilors protested in front of the mayor's office in the municipality.

This is the third consecutive day that protests erupted in the corporation over the controversial letter. In the context of the conflict, a large police force has been deployed inside and outside the corporation office. The mayor had responded the other day that the demand for resignation is a joke.

Last day, KSU showed black flags after coming to her house in Mudavanmugal. Also, BJP councillors protested in front of the mayor's office by affixing flags. The UDF has started satyagraha outside the corporation gate.
