Appeal from Chief Minister and Speaker break little ice

Puducherry: The legislators from Karaikal, P.R. Siva (Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam), M.V. Omalingam (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) and V.K. Ganapathy (Puducherry Munnetra Congress) continued to boycott the Assembly session on Monday also.

The Chief Minster, N. Rangasamy, said that he would be only too glad if the three members turned up and participated in the debate in the Assembly, as they could contribute a lot to the development of their constituencies by placing their views as well as suggestions.
