Chhatrapur: The Chhatrapur Block Chairman and panchayat members have alleged that Junior Engineers and panchayat-level workers are being frequently transferred due to undue political pressure. They claim these transfers are causing significant delays in daily government affairs and fueling public resentment. Chhatrapur was recognized as the best block in the country during a national event last year, as declared by the Central government. The block also received a cash prize of Rs 2 crore for various development projects. However, the Sarpanch and panchayat members have raised concerns that the funds have yet to be utilized after being handed over to the Block Development Officer. Frustrated by these irregularities and political interference, a team led by Block Chairman Kiran Kumari Dash, along with panchayat members, recently submitted a petition to Additional District Magistrate Pramod Kumar Prusty at the district collectorate in Chhatrapur.
