Former Sarpanches Stage Shirtless Protest In Suryapet 'Pending Bills'

Demanding the State government clear their pending bills, which have remained unpaid for the past two years, former sarpanches staged a shirtless protest in front of the Collector’s Office in Suryapet on Monday.

The former sarpanches stated that they had taken up several development works in villages as per government instructions, but the



bills pertaining to the works executed had not been cleared for two years.

They said that before the Assembly elections and the recent Gram Panchayat elections, the Congress government had assured them that the pending bills would be cleared. However, after coming to power, the issues of former sarpanches were being sidelined, they complained.
