The culvert has been dilapidated for a long time. The people of the Gram Panchayat have requested for the repair of the culvert by giving applications to the village head and other responsible people several times in the last one year. On this subject, the village head Krishna Murari Saroj said that the money for building the culvert is lying in the fund for the last one year. The secretary is not letting the work be done due to commission. He directly accused him of demanding 50% commission. Secretary Ramakrishna Pal rejected the allegations of the village head. He said that I am ready to give permission in writing to do this work.
