A shocking incident has emerged from the Iragaon Panchayat in the Keshkal assembly constituency of Chhattisgarh, where an employment assistant allegedly demanded sexual favors from a woman in exchange for a ration card. The official reportedly first asked for ‘chicken’ and then for ‘opportunity’. When the woman stated she did not have any chicken, the official responded by stating that he needed her for one night. The victim has filed a written complaint with the Janpad Panchayat and the SDM office. This has led to outrage among the villagers. Sarcastic remarks such as “Get a Ration Card – Lose Your Dignity?” are now circulating in the Panchayat building. The incident raises serious questions about the exploitation of vulnerable women and the integrity of government officials.
