In a significant administrative development in Madhepura district, the Deputy Mukhiya of Murho Panchayat has been assigned the charge of Mukhiya. This decision comes after the elected Mukhiya of the panchayat has been in judicial custody for the past month. The Block Development Officer (BDO) has issued an official letter in this regard to ensure continuity in the panchayat's operations.

According to available information, the Mukhiya of Murho Panchayat was arrested in a criminal case and has been in jail since then. His prolonged absence was impacting the development work and administrative responsibilities of the panchayat. Under the provisions of the Gram Panchayat Act, if a Mukhiya is absent from their post for an extended period or is unable to perform duties for any reason, the charge can be handed over to the Deputy Mukhiya.

Considering this situation, the local administration took prompt action. The Block Development Officer (BDO), following due process, issued an order assigning the full charge of Mukhiya to the Deputy Mukhiya of Murho Panchayat. This order is expected to ensure the smooth functioning of the panchayat and expedite pending work.

With the Deputy Mukhiya taking charge, it is hoped that development schemes and public welfare works in the panchayat will proceed without hindrance. This incident also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in Bihar's Panchayati Raj system, where alternative arrangements are made in the absence of any official to prevent inconvenience to the general public. Local residents have welcomed this step, hoping that their village's development work will now be completed quickly.
