Agartala: August 29: In a protest against the election of the Pradhan and Up-Pradhan, seven Panchayat members of Purba Jelefa Gram Panchayat in Sabrum boycotted the scheduled swearing-in ceremony. The ceremony, which was supposed to take place at 11:30 AM today, was canceled due to their absence.
The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) in-charge, Kamal Kanti Sen, along with the party’s Sabrum president, Jiten Tripura, and other leaders patiently waited until nearly 3 PM. Despite attempts to contact the absent members by phone, they did not turn up for the ceremony. Consequently, the leaders were compelled to leave the venue.
Madhuchanda Das, the Additional Block Development Officer (BDO) of Satchand RD Block, announced that the swearing-in ceremony has been postponed. The new date for the ceremony will be communicated later.
