An acrimonious dispute broke out between Amarpatan MLA Dr. Rajendra Kumar Singh and a municipal engineer at Govindgarh Pond in Maihar following reports of water seepage from the structure. The legislator, who arrived at the site to inspect the leak, engaged in a sharp verbal altercation with the engineer present at the location. During the exchange, Dr. Singh cited his own foreign qualifications, apparently to underscore technical expertise in the matter. The incident reflects ongoing tensions between political representatives and civic officials over infrastructure maintenance in the region. Officials have not yet issued formal statements regarding the cause of the seepage or remedial measures being undertaken to address the problem. The Govindgarh Pond serves as an important water source for residents in the area, making its maintenance a matter of public concern.
