Residents walk to protest poor condition of Hazaribagh’s main road
The poor condition of Hazaribagh’s Main Road, which is a part of NH100, prompted a group of residents to march 8km to demand repairs.
Craters and potholes dot the road that passes through the heart of the town. Several important businesses line the road in Hazaribagh.
The condition of the road is such that bikers are frequently injured in accidents. Residents, angered by the nonchalance of the administration, have demanded immediate repairs of the road that connects Hazaribagh and Chatra districts.
Sachidanand Pandey, who is spearheading the protests, led the march from Katkamdag block headquarters to Jhanda Chowk in Hazaribagh town. “We faced a tough time even while walking on the road. It’s not tough to imagine the pain commuters face while travelling on this important stretch of the road,” he told The Telegraph Online.
