Sarpanches to petition court for mercy deaths over unpaid govt bills

Deccan Chronicle  

WARANGAL: Sarpanches across the state, unable to bear public insults and threats from moneylenders over pending loans taken to complete government-approved developmental works, are set to petition the Telangana High Court to grant them ‘Karunya Maranam ’ over the government’s alleged failure to reimburse them. “However, with the state government’s introduction of various schemes, such as Palle Prakruthi Vanam, Haritha Haram, and need for tractors and sanitation measures, the bills crossed Rs 1.5 lakh per month but the revenue of gram panchayats did not increase to cope with the expenses for maintenance,” the sarpanch said. “In this scenario, how can a village sarpanch maintain gram panchayat and take up developmental works?” the TRS sarpanch said. Neralla Mahendar Goud, the sarpanch of Chelpur village in Huzurabad constituency, said that officials had directed him to take up works of establishing dump yards, constructing burial grounds, laying soaking pits, pipelines and roads, assuring that they would sanction funds on producing bills for the same.
