Idukki: The Pinarayi led Left Democratic Front government on Wednesday expelled Sriram Venkitaraman from the post of Devikulam sub collector amidst his arguments with the CPM over the evacuations in Munnar.
Sriram has been appointed as the new director of employment exchange and Manathavady sub collector has been entrusted with the additional charges of Devikulam. Sriram is known for his anti-encroachment drive in Munnar. He even refused to be cowed down by the political patronage during his anti-encroachment move. He took over as Devikulam sub collector in July, 2016.
