The DC, while addressing the Sarpanchs, called upon them to work with zeal and zest to come up to the expectations of the people. He asked them not to restrict their participation to rural development only rather ensure a greater role for inclusive economic growth of their areas as enshrined in the Panchayati Raj Act.
Meanwhile, the officials advised the Sarpanchs to disseminate awareness among the masses about the government schemes meant for their socio-economic empowerment.
Later, a two minute silence was observed as a tribute to those killed in today’s road accident in Sujandhar village.
