The district administration's 'Prashasan Aapke Dwar' (Administration at Your Doorstep) initiative organized 'Sahyog Camps' in Rajaun block of Banka district on Tuesday. These camps aimed at public hearings and resolving local issues. Four panchayats in Rajaun block—Manjhay-Darpa, Sanjha-Shyampur, Dhayharna-Mahgama, and Morama-Bangaon—hosted these grievance redressal events.

At the camp in Sanjha-Shyampur Panchayat, led by Mukhiya Asha Devi and Mukhiya Representative Parshuram Mandal, Raghavendra Singh Kushwaha, Chairman of the Block Program Implementation Committee, submitted two key demands to BDO Antima Kumari. The first demand letter appealed to the Banka District Magistrate for the renovation of the historic 'Shyampur Dand' (irrigation canal). This canal is considered the lifeline for 17 villages (maujas), originating from the eastern embankment of the Chandan River and extending through Damodarpur Mauja and four Bhuriya areas to Parsautipur Mauja, irrigating fields across these regions. However, excessive sand extraction from the Chandan River has prevented water from reaching the dand, leading to crop failure during droughts. To address this, there's a demand for the Minor Water Resources Department to construct a datum wall or guard wall at the canal's mouth and excavate the entire dand.

The second demand letter was addressed to the Executive Engineer of the Amarpur Electricity Department, requesting a solution to the persistent power crisis in the northern part of Naya Tola Madhay, Ward No. 6, Sanjha-Shyampur Panchayat. This area, with approximately 125 households, also powers flour mills, oil pressing mills, and water tanks for the Nal-Jal scheme, all relying on a single transformer near Shyampur Pokhar. The excessive load results in low-voltage issues and frequent power outages. An immediate installation of an additional transformer was requested to alleviate consumer hardship, with electricity department officials present at the camp assuring appropriate departmental action.
