JAMSHEDPUR – Jamshedpur West MLA Saryu Roy announced the establishment of Public Utility Committees in the Mango Municipal Corporation and JNAC areas. The initiative aims to address local issues, including water, electricity, roads, drainage, and waste management, with active community participation.

Open to All Citizens

Roy emphasized that committee members could belong to any political party or remain unaffiliated.

Call for Stringent Budgeting

Addressing broader governance concerns, Roy urged the state’s finance minister to focus on a pragmatic and stringent budget rather than a populist one. “The government has a strong mandate.

Roy expressed concern over the lack of transparency and efficiency in the current system.
