The diamond jubilee conference of the union will be held here from May 27 to May 30. Academician and activist Ram Puniyani will inaugurate the delegates’ conference and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate a public meeting to mark the conclusion of the conference which will also witness the merger of the Kerala Municipal and Corporation Staff Union (KMCSU) with the Kerala NGO Union.
