This information is not being given to the villagers. Said that the open meeting of the Panchayat to be held in the village was not organized and it was disposed of in a fake manner. Villagers said that Panchayat Secretaries and Village Development Officers do not come to the village. It is alleged that instead of the head, every work is done by the head husband. There is no satisfactory answer on asking for a reply. The villagers have demanded from the Block Development Officer to organize an open meeting of the Panchayat in the village at the earliest.

Some people are making politically incorrect allegations. Said that the agenda of the meeting comes out online and everything is being done as per rules.

All the allegations are completely false and politically motivated.
