PONDA: Shocking but true, for the last 15 years, the Bandora Panchayat has denied house construction licence to one local bowing under political pressure.
The local has now warned to stage a dharna in front of the Panchayat in protest against teh injustice meted out to him.
Shrikrishna Durbhatkar said his family member had filed an application for the construction of a house fifteen years back but acting under political pressure, the Bandora Panchayat had not decided on it and thus denied him legal permission.
He said he is the lawful owner of the said plot, but despite this, injustice is done to him, and he is frustrated due to the Panchayat attitude.
He said he had got TCP approval for the house construction plan, but the panchayat body sidelined his application without giving proper reasons for why it was not permitted.
When contacted, Sarpanch Sukanand Kurpaskar said he had called a meeting of Panchmembers to decide on his application; however, the majority were absent and needed help to take a decision. He said he would call again meeting to discuss the issue.
