Dausa : Rajasthan Government had upgraded Lalsot Municipality to Municipal Council. After the formation of the Municipal Council, speculations about merging Didwana Gram Panchayat into the Municipal Council had intensified. The villagers of Didwana opposed this. Villagers say that Didwana is the largest gram panchayat of Lalsot assembly constituency, which is capable in itself and the development is also quite good as compared to other gram panchayats of the area. Merging Didwana with Lalsot Municipal Council will cause more losses than gains.
To get small tasks done, people will have to go to Lalsot headquarters, 7-8 kilometers away from here. At the same time, farmers will also have to pay higher electricity bills. Ward Panches told that Gram Panchayat Quorum meeting will be held on 5th December. In which a unanimous decision will be taken not to merge the Gram Panchayat with the Municipal Council. He said that the voters of Didwana Gram Panchayat are 12000 and the population is 22000, which fulfills all the criteria to become a municipality. In such a situation, if the government wants to give something then it should give Didwana the status of a separate municipality. If Didwana is added to Lalsot Municipal Council, then the villagers of Didwana will protest against it and boycott the upcoming elections, for which the administration will also be responsible.
Didwana Sarpanch Vinod Phulwaria said that Didwana village is a pride in itself and there is no need to add it to any municipality or city council. Due to this the village will cease to exist. He said that if the government wants to give something to Didwana then it should give it the status of a separate municipality.
Municipal Council Commissioner Navratan Sharma said that a report is being prepared regarding which villages are to be included in the Municipal Council. As per the instructions of the government, the report will be prepared and sent to the government.
