Kochi :

Taking forward the state government’s development policies and projects for Ernakulam will be accorded top priority by newly appointed District Collector K  Mohammed Y Safirulla, who formally took over on Wednesday. “The projects being proposed by the government for the comprehensive development of the district will be given priority. Apart from this the welfare projects will be also given their due ,”  he told reporters after taking over charge from outgoing Collector M G Rajamanickam.

“ At present, I have not fully gone through the ongoing projects in the district. But efforts will be taken for the speedy implementation of major projects like Metro Rail,” he said.

It was at around 4pm that the new Collector assumed charge at a small function attended by a few of the Collectorate staff and some media persons. His parents, Karamathulla and Mehtab Begum, and wife Asiya Yasmin and daughter Iqra Shanun were present on the occasion. Fort Kochi Sub Collector S Suhas, Assistant Collector Renu Raj, RTO Sadiq Ali and District Planning Cell secretary Saly Joseph too were there.

Outgoing Collector Rajamanickam, who was effusive in his praise of his successor, said Safirullla had shown his mettle while helming the IT Mission.“Let the new Collector implement the development projects in a successful and speedy manner,” he said.
