Khargaon Khurd (District Raigad) Gram Panchayat office has been closed for 21 days

Government work has come to a standstill, causing inconvenience to citizens

Mhasala (District Raigad) – The Gram Panchayat Administrator and Gram Sevak of Khargaon Khurd were arrested in a bribery case some time ago. Even after 21 days, the Gram Panchayat office remains closed. This has caused inconvenience to citizens, with government work stalled. Group Development officials stated that the key to opening the office is not available. (How reasonable is it to give such a ridiculous reason? This reflects the unaccountability of the officials, the apathy of the department, and the lack of coordination. – Editor)

A Gram Development Officer has been appointed, but who will open the office when it is locked? remarked former Speaker Mahadev Patil. (Are the public’s problems secondary to the lock? With some sensitivity, couldn’t they break the lock and resume services for the citizens? – Editor)

Editorial Perspective

This is a clear example of serious negligence in rural administration. Why did the administration not set up an alternative arrangement in time? The Sarpanch or other responsible officials should be held accountable.
