Shouting slogans against the concerned authorities, the protesting villagers were demanding immediate repair and black topping of this road from Latti to Jakhed and Dudu. The protesting villagers, rued that despite repeated requests to the District administration and the PWD authorities, the road was not repaired since years with the result that plying vehicles are prone to accident on this stretch, which becomes extremely slippery during the rainy days.
With the bad condition of this road villagers and particularly students face extreme hardships to reach their destinations , but no much needed action by the concerned authorities was visible in the area.
The villagers threatened to march towards the District headquarter if the repair and blacktopping work is not immediately started on this road. They said only few kilometers of the road near Latti has been blacktopped.
Prominent among those who addressed the gathering included Ajay Kumar, Rajinder Gupta, Sanjeev Atri, Shakil Ahmed, Abdul Hamid besides others.
