Santhosh Kumar leads CPI Kannur again

C.P. Santhosh Kumar secured re-election as the CPI's Kannur district secretary following the district conference held today. A new 39-member district council was also elected. The conference addressed concerns regarding private healthcare costs, urging the State Health department to standardize treatment charges. This call for action stems from observed discrepancies and exploitation within the private hospital sector. Senior party figures attended the conference, which highlighted the financial burden on patients, particularly accident victims, due to unregulated medical expenses.
