A commotion erupted in the meeting hall of Gohad Municipal Council in Bhind on Monday when a debate over encroachment allegedly turned into a physical altercation. The incident involved a dispute between Acting Chief Municipal Officer (CMO) Mahesh Chandra Jatav and the son of Ward 16 councilor, after which the matter reached the police station. According to the complaint filed by the Acting CMO, he was reviewing official work with employees in the office. During this time, the councilor’s son arrived at the office and began a heated argument about not stopping construction work in the ward area. It is alleged that as the dispute escalated, there was pushing and shoving, which resulted in injury to the CMO. The matter was calmed down after intervention, but later a complaint was filed at the police station. On the other hand, the councilor’s side claims that questions were raised in opposition to illegal encroachment and irregularities in the ward.
