Tension gripped the Chimbel Panchayat hall on Sunday after villagers demanded that the Gram Sabha be held in an open space instead of inside the hall. Residents argued that the meeting, being conducted after nearly eight months, was expected to draw a large crowd and the hall would not be able to accommodate everyone. The situation turned heated as locals insisted on shifting the venue outside for better participation. However, the Sarpanch maintained that the notice for the Gram Sabha had already been issued on February 23 and no objections were raised earlier. Villagers continued to wait outside the Panchayat hall for a final decision.
