Saraswati from Ranchi called up to report about the Namkum Block Panchayat office being locked up by the Panchayat Members as their way to avenge on the cancellation of the public hearing by the BDO. Elaborating on the matter, she says that the Panchayat members had told the BDO about the public hearing being organized on the 20th of March, but the absence of BDO in the hearing trigerred angry response among the Panchayat members. They also protested against the BDO and wanted him to resign from his job. Sundari Tirkey, another officer reached the spot and tried to calm things down. The BDO, Subhra Rani condemned the fiasco and commented that the information of cancellation of public hearing had already been conveyed.
