Pradeep Kumar Das, a candidate for the president’s post, was hospitalized due to a severe heart attack. Once he recovers, he is also expected to submit his resignation. Out of the total 38-member panchayat, it is reported that 19 members will resign. Recently, a group of youths from Sindhanur caused a disturbance at the RH camp following a post on social media.
Among the 38 members, one member belongs to the Muslim community, while the others are Hindus. Now, the members who were previously part of the Hindu community have collectively submitted their resignations.
