In the absence of Panchayat system,funds never reach village people, misappropriated by brokers or diverted to other departments.Journalist union urged government to introduce Panchayat system in BTC.Lastly,under Didayal Bidyutikaran Yojana and Rastriya Krishi Sichai yojana,people of Udalguri have been suffering as there is no office or officers in Udalguri and everything being controlled or supervised by neighboring Darrang district office from Mangaldai.Full time offices at Udalguri will serve the people better.UDJU requested government to establish separate offices at Udalguri.
