The Block Development Officer, Shivprasad Naik said that there was no harm in holding gram sabhas in spite of the elections ahead but the panchayats will not be able to take up any development works or policy decisions.
“The panchayats can hold gram sabhas and discuss matters pertaining to the village. But they won’t be able to discuss any development works or take any policy decisions or pass resolutions that will influence the voters,” Naik said.
He said almost all the panchayats have approved their budgets for the new financial year.
