Well-known actors Revathi and Rima Kallingal, screen writer Deedi Damodaran and editor Bina Paul Venugopal were among those who visited the CM at his office in the Secretariat here.
Later, Kallingal told reporters that they wanted to bring all stakeholders in the industry together. However, she and other WCC members were reluctant to divulge any other details about their meeting with the CM.
Significantly, the WCC representatives met the chief minister a day after the Kerala High Court pulled up the Left government in the state saying its inaction on the Justice K Hema Committee report was “alarmingly lethargic”.
