Govt refused. So Odisha man built 3 km road through hills. He took 30 years

Bhubaneswar: Thirty years ago, residents of Tulubi, a remote village in Odisha’s Nayagarh district, petitioned the administration for a three km stretch of road through the hills ad forest that would link their village to the main road. They just needed a walkable road so that people didn’t lose their way.

But the request was rejected by the administration. The minister reportedly told them it was impossible.

That is when Harihar Behera and his brother Krushna figured that if they needed the road, they would have to build it themselves. And they got down to work. With nothing more than a hammer, hoe and a crowbar.
