They had also claimed that the Collector has been negligent in allocating the land. He has been suspended for six months under Section 37(5) of the Panchayat Raj Act, 2018.
The Additional Collector had previously carried out an inquiry and also issued showcause notice to the sarpanch. Not satisfied with the sarpanch’s reply, the administration issued suspension orders.
