The post of Zilla Parishad Chairman is vacant for the last 15 days. Since the position of District Council President became vacant, the Vice-President has given the letter regarding the charge to the District Magistrate and the Chief Executive Officer of the District Council, but has not yet sat in the chair of the President. Due to the vacancy of the post of Chairman, many works in the Zilla Parishad have come to a standstill. There is anger among the council members. It is expected that the Vice-President can take over from the President on Friday. District council president Mithun Kumar resigned on November 27 after becoming MLA. After his resignation, the vice-president was to get the charge, but at the departmental level it was said that there would be a seven-day wait after resignation. The logic behind this is whether the resignation will be withdrawn by the Speaker. The vice president was asked to wait seven days. It was informed that on the seventh day of the resignation, information regarding vacancy in the post of Chairman will be sent to the State Election Commission. Seven days after the resignation, information about the vacancy of the post was sent to the State Election Commission. There is less than one year left in the tenure of the Zilla Parishad.
