Donation Appeal by Telangana Panchayat Secretary Sparks Debate

In a village in Telangana, a local government worker named Banoth Chandulal, the panchayat secretary, asked for donations to buy a pushcart for cleaning the village.

He put up signs that looked like the pushcart and explained that it cost 8,000 rupees.

His idea was to get people involved and take care of the equipment.

Some people thought it was strange for the government to ask for money like this, especially since it's in a minister's home area.

Some organizations, like the Lions Club, offered to help.

However, the government officials asked him to remove the banners, so he did.
