Gurdeep Singh told ETV Bharat that his panchayat had convened a meeting recently and during this meeting some special resolutions were passed regarding stopping unnecessary expenses in the villages. These resolutions have been unanimously ratified by the village. Among these, the main one is that if a person dies in the village, then jalebis and pakodas will not be made on that person's funeral, but a simple funeral will be held. If any person violates these orders of the Panchayat, then he will have to deposit 21 thousand rupees to the Panchayat.
