Bidar: Villagers lock Panchayat members for failing to resolve water issue
Bidar: In a unique protest over the ongoing water crisis, residents of Eklur village in Basavakalyan taluk locked Panchayat members inside the Gram Panchayat office, expressing their frustration over the lack of action to resolve the drinking water problem.
The incident unfolded as villagers, angry over the irregular water supply, sometimes unavailable even once a week, demanded accountability from local representatives.
Among those detained by the villagers were Gram Panchayat Vice President Jagannath Domme, members Kalyanrao Mudabe and Tulsirama Kambale, as well as family members of female panchayat members, including Devendra Shinde, Sanju Kumar Domme, and Mallinath Malipatil.
The villagers accused the members of negligence and failure to address their long-standing grievances.
Following heated discussions, the panchayat president assured the residents that necessary steps would be taken to resolve the issue within a week.
Only after this promise did the villagers release the detained officials, bringing the tense standoff to an end. The protest highlights the severity of the water crisis in the region and the growing impatience of villagers with local governance failures.

YouTube show row: Comedian Samay Raina records statement with Maharashtra Cyber
Mumbai, Mar 24 (PTI): Maharashtra Cyber on Monday recorded the statement of comedian Samay Raina in a case registered over objectionable remarks on his YouTube show, an official said.
Maharashtra Cyber, a cyber and information security division, is probing the case registered against podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia and others after he triggered a massive uproar with his crass remarks about parents and sex on Raina’s web show “India’s Got Latent”.
The agency had summoned Raina several times to record his statement in connection with the case, the official said.
He said Raina, who recently returned from abroad, appeared before the probe agency at its headquarters in Mhape and recorded his statement.
The comedian reached the office in the afternoon, recorded his statement for more than five hours, and left the premises at 6.45, the official said.
He said the agency had earlier recorded statements of Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, Apoorva Makhija and others.
Raina got into trouble after Allahbadia’s remarks on his now-deleted web show “India’s Got Latent” led to a massive furore in February, both online and offline, with multiple police complaints filed against the two and those involved with the show.
