Ashok Kumar Sharma, Deputy Commissioner, has issued a show cause notices to Pooja Sharma, BDPO, and Ganjendri Devi, sarpanch of Kakripur village of the district, for illegally digging land at the community centre of the village.

The land at the community centre was reportedly dug up by the contractor to fill the village pond with the soil removed.
