--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gram sabhas - On the spot minutes now mandatory --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Minutes of gram sabha meetings and fortnightly will now have to be recorded on the spot when meetings are conducted. Prompt recording of minutes has been made mandatory vide a circular issued by Director of Panchayats P M Borkar issued last month.
Mr Borkar has stated in the circular that "minutes are recorded after a lapse of long periods, which gives scope for making manipulations and adding the resolutions, which were not actually passed in the meetings".
The director has also claimed, that the circular had been issued after his office has received complaints, that minutes of gram sabha and panchayat meetings were not being recorded.
The circular dated July 31 also instructs all block development officers to ensure that the instructions are strictly followed by all panchayats in their respective blocks. -------------------------- HERALD 18/8/03 -------------------------
