On one hand the Government says that it has decentralised and transferred most of the powers to local bodies, and here it appears to be strengthening its hold. CK Raju KILA ---------- Forwarded Message ----------

I invite your kind attention to the resolution adopted by the Pattanchery Grama Panchayat about the installation of Linux in the computer during the month of January this year. In this regard we had sent a letter to the secretary to the government for the approval of Linux installation in the computers.
The additional secretary for secretary department of local administration in his letter ltr.no 31914/02 dla dt.25.9.02 to the secretary pattanchery grama Panchayat has strictly objected the installation of Linux as operating system in the computer when it is being installed in the Panchayat instead of windows.
The secretary pattanchery grama Panchayat called on me over the phone yesterday and informed this fact to me. This is for your information please.
Nothing more at present.
Thanking you, (Ramanunni)
