None of the public inputs were considered or included in the Draft Bill.  In fact, the original bill was furether watered down, before it was passed in legisature.  Important clauses that called for forming Area Sabhas were removed, so also the power of the ward committees were reduced to advisory.

THIS IS THE BILL THE GOVT TABLED IN THE BUDGET SESSION OF LEGISTLATURE ON 9TH MARCH 2025, AND WAS PASSED BY THE LOWER HOUSE & UPPER HOUSE, AND SENT TO THE GOVERNOR FOR ASSENT:

PLEASE NOTE, THIS DRAFT WAS NOT PRESENTED FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION, ALTHOUH IT WAS READY WHEN THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION WAS ANNOUNCED.   THIS POINTS TO MALICIOUS INTENT BY THE GOVT AND THE STANDING COMMITTEE.  THIS WAS DELIBERATE DENIAL.
