An NRI couple, former sarpanches, face charges for raising street height outside their Hoshiarpur home to prevent waterlogging. They claim the repair was necessary due to the street sinking. The panchayat alleges the work was done without approval and that the couple used abusive language. Police registered a case based on the panchayat department's complaint.
