Takhatgarh, Sumerpur. Political tensions have escalated in the Takhatgarh municipality as opposition members demand a detailed account of development expenditures. Councilor Bhanwar Meena has spearheaded the call for transparency, insisting that the upcoming board meeting must address the specific locations and current status of various infrastructure projects that have allegedly been completed on paper.
The controversy centers on a report submitted to the District Collector on August 19, 2026, which outlined eleven public utility projects with a total estimated cost of 99.08 lakh rupees. These projects include significant allocations for clearing vegetation from local ponds, installing covers on open drains across all twenty-five wards, and extensive road repair work involving cement concrete patching.
Opposition leaders are questioning the discrepancy between administrative records and ground reality. While official documents indicate that work orders have already been issued for these tasks, councilors are now demanding to see the physical evidence of these improvements. They are seeking clarity on the exact sites of the repairs, the quality of materials used, and the total payments disbursed to contractors to date.
