Kannur (Kerala):Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government created another history by conducting the state cabinet meeting outside the capital city of Thiruvananthapuram in a private hotel. The crucial meeting was held at the Pearl View Hotel in Thalassery under the chairmanship of the chief minister on Wednesday morning.
This was the first time that the Cabinet meeting was held in the Kannur district. Before this, such type of meeting used to be held outside the state capital Thiruvananthapuram following the boat accident on May 7, 2023, in Tanur beach, which claimed the lives of 22 people. The meeting was conducted at Minister V Abdul Rahman's official residence at Thanur.
Earlier, the LDF government had decided to hold the Cabinet meeting outside the state capital. The Kerala Cabinet usually meets every Wednesday at the Thiruvananthapuram secretariat cabinet room. Unless in an emergency, the cabinet meeting usually happening outside the capital city is the rarest happening in Kerala. The cabinet meetings will be conducted in various districts of states in the coming days in view of the 'Nava Kerala Sadassu' progress.
