Keonjhar Ward Members Disqualified for Violating Two-Child Rule

In Keonjhar, three local leaders lost their jobs because they have too many children.

The rule says you can't hold office if you have more than two kids.

The problem came to light when these leaders tried to remove another leader from their position.

The leader they tried to remove told the court that they had hidden information about their children.

The court agreed that they broke the rule and ordered them to be removed.

Now, officials are making sure this order is carried out.
