Social Media Buzz
Videos of the scattered applications on Tarnaka’s main road have quickly gone viral across social media platforms. Unlike the earlier incident, these applications appeared to have been filled out by households, as indicated by the footage. The applications were seen spread across the road, with pedestrians walking by, seemingly unbothered and continuing with their daily routines.
A History of Similar Incidents
This isn’t the first time such incidents have occurred. A previous event earlier this year on January 4 saw Praja Palana applications scattered on the Balanagar flyover, raising further concerns about the mishandling of survey forms in the city.
Ongoing Investigation and Lack of Response
Despite the growing number of such incidents, local authorities have yet to comment on the causes or take decisive action to prevent future occurrences.
