Hundreds of villagers protested by blocking the road demanding to pave a dilapidated road in the village of Tirbirwa in Gush Sadr in Gopalanj. During this period, people expressed their displeasure with the government and administration and said that bad roads were becoming a major obstacle in their development.
.
The villagers protested under the banner of “Jan Vichar Tirbirwa Panchayat”, in which members of five panchayats including Tirbirwa and local people participated. The protesters say that this road is located at the turn to Hafita, only one and a half kilometers from the district headquarters, but the administration still ignores it.
35 to 40 thousand people and residents of five panchayats use this road daily, but its condition is very bad. The villagers claim that their area is being deliberately ignored, while local ministers, senior leaders and district government officials have often passed through this road.
Many e-rickshaws have become victims of accidents due to ignorance
Villagers said the condition of the road worsens during the rainy season, when the potholed road turns into a river. Many times people have been injured due to e-rickshaws overturning, and due to the poor condition of the roads, laborers and workers in the area have to face many problems. Children are unable to go to school, as school buses charge more due to bad roads, and e-rickshaw drivers refuse to ply the route. Everyone who agrees to go asks for double the rate.
Due to these problems many people left the village
The villagers also say that because of this road, many people were forced to leave the village and settle in the city, because both the education and the employment of children are disrupted. Dozens of workers have been injured due to this bad road, and this problem is becoming more serious day by day. This poor condition has destroyed all hopes of development, and this road has now become the biggest challenge for the villagers.
The protesting villagers demanded the administration to build this road as soon as possible so that they can get relief from this hardship. According to him, if concrete steps are not taken soon, their protest will increase.
