Latur sarpanch booked for flinging cash at tehsildar amid heavy rains A sarpanch in Latur was booked after he threw bundles of cash at a tehsildar to express his anger at authorities for allegedly failing to carry out crop damage assessments, also called ‘panchnamas’, amid heavy rains and flooding, PTI reported, quoting officials. The incident occurred on Thursday. Sarpanch Rahul Makanikar of Makni was booked on the complaint of a deputy tehsildar. Villagers staged protests following the incident. “Makanikar threw bundles of currency notes of Rs 10 and Rs 20 denominations at tehsildar Prasad Kulkarni in anger over the administration’s failure to conduct crop loss assessments. At the time, he said the government had failed the flood-affected and that the money was collected for revenue personnel and the chief minister,” an official said. Makanikar later reached the police station and dared authorities to book him, reported PTI, quoting the official. However, his act led to protests by revenue department personnel under Kulkarni’s leadership, with staffers refusing to work until Makanikar was arrested, the official said. “The protesting revenue department staffers submitted a memorandum to the Sub-Divisional Officer with signatures of 54 talathis, five deputy tehsildars, nine circle officers, 12 revenue clerks, 44 kotwals, and six peons. An FIR was registered against Makanikar on the complaint of deputy tehsildar Pravin Alandkar,” he added.
