Kochi: The LDF city councillors on Saturday continued their hunger strike before the corporation demanding a judicial probe into the Fort Kochi boat mishap as the chief minister had failed to give a formal assurance on a judicial probe.
CPI national council member Kamala Govind visited CPM councillor K.N. Sunil Kumar and CPI councillor Joji Kurikodu who started the hunger strike on Friday after LDF leaders K.J. Jacob and C.A. Shakeer were shifted to hospital on the fifth day of the strike.
Kamala Govind said that Mayor Tony Chammany should resign as he was incapable of protecting the city residents. A case should be registered against him for homicide, she said.
CPI district committee member John Fernandez and district executive committee member T.V. Sanjith also addressed the gathering. The agitation would be intensified in the coming days, they said.
