A farmer member of the Neura-O-Grande Tenants Association has filed an objection with the Tiswadi Mamlatdar regarding the recent submission of FORM III (list of new tenants) dated May 3, 2024, by the association’s managing committee. The objection specifically targets entries from serial number 563 to 596, alleging that these names are fake and that the individuals listed are not actual farmers. Furthermore, the objector claims that these individuals have not provided any documentary evidence to substantiate their membership.

The Tiswadi Mamlatdar has yet to take action on the matter. This controversy comes amid an ongoing inquiry into the flooding of Neura Khazan through sluice gates, which has also brought the Neura-O-Grande Tenants Association into the spotlight.

The timing of this issue is critical as the term of the current managing committee is nearing its end. The addition of new names to the tenant list without proper verification is seen as a strategy to secure re-election by incorporating individuals who are close to the managing committee and political figures. There have been reports that genuine farmers, who have the necessary documentary evidence, have been excluded from FORM III, raising concerns about the integrity of the tenant list and the fairness of the association’s electoral process.

The situation underscores the need for thorough verification and transparency in the association’s membership processes to ensure that only legitimate farmers are included and that the electoral process remains fair and unbiased.
