Former legislator Jagatara Jagga visited the Jagraon municipal council to demand a detailed account of the funds spent on garbage‑collection vehicles.
Former Punjab MLA Jagatara Jagga arrived at the Jagraon council office on Monday, pressing council officials for a transparent breakdown of the money spent on garbage‑collection trucks.
He highlighted concerns that the expenditure, which is funded from local taxes, has not been publicly disclosed, and urged the council to release the financial records.
Council representatives acknowledged the request and said they would compile the relevant documents and present them to Jagga within the next few days.
The former legislator, who represented the area in the state assembly for several terms, said accountability is essential for maintaining public trust in municipal services.
Local residents have previously raised questions about the efficiency of waste management, making Jagga's intervention a timely call for fiscal clarity.
