A former legislator has sought clarification over diesel spending by the Jagraon Nagar Council, prompting a demand for detailed accounts.
The Jagraon Nagar Council came under scrutiny after a former member of the Punjab Legislative Assembly raised concerns about the amount spent on diesel for council operations. During a recent council meeting, the ex‑MLA asked officials to disclose the exact figures and justification for the fuel expenses, citing the need for transparency in public spending.
Council representatives acknowledged the query and indicated that a detailed breakdown would be prepared for review. They emphasized that diesel purchases are essential for maintaining municipal vehicles and equipment, but agreed to provide a full accounting to address the legislator's concerns.
The issue highlights ongoing demands for fiscal accountability at the local government level in Punjab. Authorities are expected to submit the requested information in the coming days, allowing residents to assess whether the expenditures align with budgetary norms.
