Aurangabad, May 7:
NCP leader has submitted a memorandum to the sub-divisional officer (SDO) demanding action against the EGS minister Sandeepan Bhumre for violating the prohibitory orders imposed in the wake of Coronavirus in the district. NCP contact chief Datta Gorde stated that the minister had inaugurated various EGS works in Paithan tehsil's Devgaon village in presence of a large number of party activists and villagers on May 5.
The minister also addressed a gathering to mark the inauguration. The minister's son and Zilla Parishad member Vilas Bhumre, Chittegaon's ZP member Akshay Jaybhaye, Devgaon sarpanch Ramlal Kothadi, deputy sarpanch Balasaheb Gite, Panchayat Samiti member Sopan Thore, Bhaskar Gite, Bhagwan Dhage, Pandharinath Gite, Deepak Dhakane, Amol Gite, and many others along with gram rojgar sevak Madan Bondre, Shiv Sena activists, and villagers were present at the inaugural programmes in large number.
