Bandipora: An issue over streetlights turned into a scuffle between two groups of Panchayat members in Bandipora district’s Nesbal village resulting in injuries to at least four persons including a Sarpanch.
According to eyewitnesses, two groups of Panchayat members were attending a Gram Sabha in the Tengpora area of Nesbal in the Sumbal division when one of the group members raised objections over the installation of streetlights.
The objections turned into a war of words and later into a full-blown scuffle wherein the Panchayat members as well as civilians threw chairs at each other.
