A new twist has come in the case of a violent fight between an official and a councillor in the Vadodara Municipal Corporation late at night. After an hour-and-a-half-long meeting held in the evening in the official presence of the mayor, it was announced that a amicable settlement had been reached between the two sides. However, after 3 hours of this meeting, the victim officer along with his superiors reached the Bapod police station again to lodge a complaint. It was announced that a compromise had been reached Vadodara: Additional Assistant Engineer Prakash Rohit, who was working in the rainforest department near Khodiyar Nagar in Ward-4 of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation, was beaten up by Ward 4 corporator Mayur Chovatia on charges of corruption. After the incident, a reconciliation meeting was held between the officials and the corporator at the corporation's office under the chairmanship of the mayor. The meeting lasted for one and a half hours. After the meeting, the mayor made a clear statement to the media that the entire matter has been settled and no police complaint will be made from both sides. The joy of reconciliation proved to be fleeting However, the joy and peace of this settlement lasted only for three hours and the situation suddenly changed late at night. Despite the announcement of the settlement and the assurance of the mayor, the corporation officials were not ready to sit quietly on the matter. Setting aside the consensus reached in the one-and-a-half-hour meeting and ignoring the mayor's instructions and clarifications, the officials finally reached the Bapod police station at night to lodge a complaint. This attitude of the officials has sparked a lot of debate in local politics and corporation circles. Despite the mayor's best efforts to settle the matter, the officials remained firm on their demands and protests, which has led to a situation where the ruling party and the administration of the municipality have come face to face. Allegation that the corporator's attitude did not change even after the meeting As soon as the officials reached the Bapod police station, the police machinery also swung into action. Following this incident, the dissatisfaction among the corporation's employees and officers has also come to the surface. Even after the negotiations of a settlement, the officials have chosen the path of legal action, now the entire dispute has deepened. Complainant Prakash Rohit said, "I did not respond to the conciliation meeting. However, later I showed my willingness to lodge a complaint and told us that you can do whatever you want." After the incident and the reconciliation meeting, the corporator was accused of posting a new video by the corporator, which led to a proposal to file a complaint till late in the night.
