Mohammad Aftab Alam, the outgoing chairman of Phulwari Sharif Nagar Parishad, has strongly criticized the Bihar government's decision to dissolve the civic body and implement an administrative system. He questioned the State Election Commission as well, stating that dissolving an elected body before its five-year term concludes raises serious concerns about the democratic system.

According to Alam, the Phulwari Sharif Nagar Parishad was dissolved on May 13, 2026, and an administrative setup was put in place. Khagaul and Danapur Nizamat civic bodies were also dissolved similarly. He emphasized that the elected representatives, including the chief councilor, deputy chief councilor, and ward councilors, were removed before completing their terms.

Alam informed that after delimitation, the number of wards in Phulwari Sharif Nagar Parishad increased from 28 to 38, and this number is also recorded with the State Election Commission. He further claimed that Phulwari Sharif, Danapur Nizamat, and Khagaul civic bodies were included in the 2026 municipal general election process.

The former chairman warned that if elections are not held within the stipulated timeframe as per constitutional provisions and judicial directives, he would approach the court. He clarified that this is not just an issue for elected representatives but is linked to the democratic rights of the local populace. Aftab Alam has urged the Bihar government and the State Election Commission to conduct elections promptly and restore the local body system through elected representatives in Phulwari Sharif Nagar Parishad.
