CLOSE on the heels of the safety lapse controversy over a dance programme at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kaloor, the Kochi corporation has issued a stop memo to the organisers of the '41st Cochin Flower Show' at the last minute for failing to obtain necessary clearances, even as the 10-day event was set to conclude on Thursday.

This was even as a middle-aged woman tripped and fell, fracturing her hand, inside the venue at Marine Drive around 7 pm on Wednesday. Bindu Joseph, 55, a resident of Chilavannur and an accountant at a private firm, underwent an emergency surgery at a city hospital.
