Aryan Gaonkar was elected as sarpanch of Karapur-Sarvan Panchayat.
The post of sarpanch had fallen vacant after former sarpanch Jayashri Tari resigned to honour an agreement between the ruling panchas.
Panch Shamin Banu Rasul Madar from the ruling group was likely to be elected as sarpanch and her candidature was proposed by Mahesh Sawant from the opposition group, but not a single member from the ruling group or from the opposition seconded it, due to which Aryan Gaonkar was elected as sarpanch, as this post has been reserved for women panchas.
Her nomination was proposed and seconded by Dhiraj Sawant and Jayashri Tari respectively. The election meeting was attended by secretary Suryakant Raut.
