Activists oppose corporators Kerala tour

Social activists have opposed the PMC plan to spend Rs 25 lakh on a study tour of women corporators to Kerala.

There is no harm in corporators going on tour if it is on their own expenses or that of their political parties, said a statement,jointly signed by Vivek Velankar,Vijay Kumbhar,Vihar Durve and a few others.
