Alappuzha: The District Collector of Alappuzha has once again been replaced, with Alex Varghese, former director of urban affairs, assuming the role as the new collector. John V Samuel, the outgoing collector, has not been replaced. Instead, the order states that he will be assigned to the urban affairs department.
Speculation suggests that the reason behind the change lies in differences with the pro-CPI joint council. The order appointing a new collector was issued last night, with instructions for immediate assumption of duties. Remarkably, Alappuzha has seen its 7th collector in the span of just two years.
