Thodupuzha: It is assumed that neither the council, nor the standing health committee nor the steering committee were aware of the choice of movie star Asif Ali as the municipality’s cleanliness ambassador.

Abdul Karim, chairman of the standing health committee, raised the issue at the board meeting held on Saturday. The opposition protested that officials were making important decisions without the knowledge of the council or steering committee. It was therefore decided to freeze the decision. There has been criticism that Asif Ali also did not know he was chosen as an ambassador. However, municipal authorities informed that Asif Ali had agreed to be appointed ambassador. Some opposition members also said officials made the decision without the vice president’s knowledge.

Problem selection method

Asif Ali is Thodupuzha’s pride. The problem is not that he was chosen as the ambassador. Questioned is the chosen method. Official action cannot be taken without informing the Council, the Steering Committee or the Standing Health Committee. – Abdul Karim, President, Standing Committee on Health.
