# Igatpuri tehsildar skips HQ, official bungalow lies derelict 2026-08-13T11:28:02+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The tehsildar of Igatpuri in Nashik district is not staying at the headquarters, leaving the government-built official residence abandoned and dilapidated for over a decade. Freepress Journal reports the bungalow has been locked for 10 to 12 years, its grounds overgrown with grass and wild shrubs, even as a government asset worth crores lies unused. Government rules require Class-I officers posted at taluka headquarters to reside there for emergency and disaster response. Locals, farmers’ groups and activists complain they wait hours to meet the tehsildar, who commutes from Nashik. They demand action against errant officials and immediate repair of the quarters. All eyes are now on the district collector’s response. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Government housing, Igatpuri, Nashik, revenue administration, Tehsildar Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/igatpuri-tehsildar-skips-hq-official-bungalow-lies-derelict/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
