For even small official work like getting admission forms attested the villagers have to rush to the MPs, MLAs or Municipal Councillors. Every morning I get a large number of people in my office who come only for getting their forms attested. Hirankoodna village in my constituency is very far from my office and they have to spend a lot of money on buses to get here. The other buses have been withdrawn. School and college students have to walk for miles to Rohtak Road to get another bus.
People have to wait for as long as four hours for a bus.
The Panchayat had also played a traditional role in maintaining the social fabric of rural life. With no panchayat, the youth have no one to guide. There is a rise in crime and even small quarrels are blown out of proportion. Small quarrels between villagers earlier used to be sorted out by the panchayat and the police respected our decision. Send Rakhi to India.
