[Breaking] Jagtial Municipality Scandal: Former Councillor Alleges Financial Misconduct, Seeks Collector’s Action
Date: December 22, 2025
Jagtial, Telangana — A shocking expose has emerged involving the Jagtial Municipal Corporation, with former councillor Hanumandla Jayashri Tajja filing a formal complaint with District Collector, alleging gross irregularities, procedural violations, and possible embezzlement of public funds.
In a petition submitted today, Tajja accused municipal officials of manipulating the final council meeting held on January 24, 2025, by:
1. Sneaking in an unauthorized second item into the additional agenda, approving the engagement of an Environmental Engineer for a year without council knowledge.
2. Passing a resolution for a bill related to a canceled project (under SDF 2022-23, scrapped by the Collector on July 1, 2023), without listing it in the agenda. The work was allegedly started before the cancellation, raising questions on intent.
3. Misleading higher authorities, flouting rules, and treating council proceedings with contempt.
Key points of the complaint:
– The additional agenda originally had one legitimate item (funds for 1611 housing units). Officials stealthily added a second, unauthorized item.
– The bogus resolution pertains to a project whose funds were annulled. Despite this, a bill was fraudulently recorded.
– Tajja demands strict action against the Assistant Engineer, Deputy Engineer, Commissioner, and associated contractor, calling them out for:
– Violating the Collector’s orders.
– Manipulating agenda and council records.
– Attempting to siphon taxpayer money.
“The people of jagtial will not tolerate this abuse of trust,” Tajja stated. Copies of the complaint, including incriminating documents, have been sent to the Greater Hyderabad and Warangal municipal administrations.
The allegations, if proven true, point to a brazen subversion of transparency and accountability. The Collector is urged to institute an immediate probe, blacklist involved parties, freeze the payment, and ensure that public funds are safeguarded.
