THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM State Secretary MV Govindan announced that the CPM state conference will take place in Kollam from March 6 to 9. Initially, it was scheduled for February, but was rescheduled as the West Bengal state conference was also scheduled for the same dates. Since a suitable hall was not available for the West Bengal conference on those dates, the Polit Bureau decided to change the date of the conference in Kerala. Additionally, Govindan stated that branch conferences are progressing democratically and organizationally.
