Payyanu: The Payyanur Mandalam Committee of UDF decided not to cooperate with the all party meeting to demand the reopening of the KSRTC Depot of Payyanur. The meeting convened by T.Govindan MP is scheduled for this evening at Perumba GMUPS. The UDF leaders stated that it is quite humilitative to see that the same forces who had destroyed more than 17buses had come forward as the rescuers of the depot. They also asked CPM to take the responsibility of the incident and try to solve the problem themselves. The depot was closed down following the atrocities on KSRTC buses during the CPM sponsored strike against the electricity charge hike. More than 17 buses were destroyed at Payyanur depot alone. The UDF leaders told that at no reason they will allow the closing down of the depot. A represenation of UDF leaders will go to Thriuvananthapuram to facilitate the reopening of the depot. VN Eripuram, AP Alikunji, P.Balan Master,M.Narayanankutty, SP Muhammad attended the meeting.
