Forest and State Minister Sanjay Sharma’s visit to Alwar Municipal Corporation on Gandhi Jayanti was marked by the absence of the mayor and commissioner, highlighting reported internal disputes within the body.
On Gandhi Jayanti, Forest and State Minister Sanjay Sharma arrived at the Alwar Municipal Corporation premises in Rajasthan. The visit, which was expected to include a formal reception, proceeded without the usual protocol of greeting senior municipal officials.
Both the mayor of Alwar and the municipal commissioner were notably absent when the minister reached the venue. Their non‑attendance was reported by local media as unusual for a ministerial visit of this nature.
The incident comes just ten days after the corporation held its mayoral elections, a period during which reports of internal disagreements among elected representatives have surfaced. Sources close to the corporation suggest that factional tensions may have contributed to the lack of coordination for the minister's reception.
Following the brief appearance, Minister Sharma departed the site without meeting the mayor or commissioner. No official statement has yet been released by the municipal administration or the minister's office regarding the circumstances of the missed meeting.
The episode has drawn attention to the governance challenges facing Alwar's local body, with observers noting that unresolved internal disputes could affect the delivery of civic services in the coming months.
