Arpa Par’s push for an independent municipal corporation has reached a critical stage. Forum leader Amit Tiwari warned that if the state does not deliver a clear verdict, a hunger strike will commence on September 1 and continue until the demand is satisfied. The area’s expansion has stretched existing civic services thin, making a separate corporation essential for focused planning and delivery. The Citizens' Safety Forum has appealed to residents to join the movement, emphasizing that a broader protest may follow if authorities delay further.
