THE council meeting of the Coimbatore CCMC has decided to postpone implementation of resolutions which allowed the revision in the rules and hike in UGD charges and 24x7 water supply charges, citing the Assembly election. The charges which were first introduced a few years ago are yet to be fully implemented throughout the city.

CCMC introduced a resolution suggesting a hike in the charges and listing out new rules during the previous council meeting and that was later put on hold.

The same which was taken up for Friday's council meeting was once again postponed after a huge opposition from councillors including the opposition as well as alliance party council leaders.

The civic body conducted an urgent meeting last month in which over 100 resolutions were tabled including a couple of resolutions which mentioned revising rules and regulations for the UGD connections as well as the 24x7 water supply connections by the Suez firm.

The CCMC using its powers had made alterations in the rules which allowed the civic body to hike the user charges by 3% every single year.

The councillors have unanimously opposed these rules and have strongly condemned the annual hike.
