Hold civic polls in Union Territory immediately: DMK

A resolution to this effect was adopted at the Executive Committee meeting of the party held here on Saturday, according to a party release here.

Another resolution urged the administration to desilt all the 82 lakes including the Ossudu lake and Bahour lake on a war footing basis and to clean the channels to the lake considering the fact that the ground water level has depleted considerably.

Yet another resolution urged the administration to reduce the property tax, house tax, and garbage tax as announced by the CM before the elections and to organise state wide agitations if the government failed. Resolutions urging to roll back the power tariff hiked and provision of relief to the Karaikal farmers who are affected by drought were also passed
