The Mananthavady municipality has decided to hand over its existing office complex to the Wayanad Government Medical College, The Hindu reports. The decision was taken at a municipal council meeting on Saturday (August 8) after a request from the medical college authorities.
The municipal office is being shifted to a new building. The present building is located near the road leading to the medical college, making it convenient for the college to use. Chairperson Jacob Sebastian, vice-chairperson Sindu Sebastian and other council members attended the meeting.
While the transfer of a municipal building to a medical college seems a straightforward administrative decision, it is worth noting that such inter-departmental cooperation is often slow and mired in paperwork. This move shows that local bodies can act decisively when there is a clear public need. The real test will be how soon the college can operationalise the space for clinical or academic use, and whether the municipality meets its own shift deadline without delays.
