TMC Councillor Faces Show-Cause Notice, Appeals for Intervention
Imagine a city council member, Mr. Barman, who is having some issues.
The party leaders sent him a note asking why he caused problems at a recent meeting and talked to the media after.
Barman feels like he isn't being listened to and is being ignored in his work, and that other council members are making decisions without him.
He is speaking up because he feels that they are stopping action on things that his ward has asked him to do.
He now has to explain to the party why he acted this way and what is happening with him.
Dilip Barman, a TMC councillor, faces a show-cause notice for alleged misconduct.
Barman appealed to Firhad Hakim, seeking intervention over alleged harassment.
The show-cause notice was issued by TMC's state president Subrata Bakshi.
Barman claims he has been side-lined and insulted by the mayor and deputy mayor.
Barman questioned decisions made in his department without his knowledge.
