Politicians talk highly about the infrastructure developed by them and their parties. But the condition of the roads looks quite in contrast to what they say. The roads look like swimming pools when even the cities face the rain. Even the highly developed cities face the same issue.
As a bid to highlight the troubles they are facing with the potholes on the road, women in Hoshangabad Road in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal have called for a catwalk on the roads filled with the potholes.
The women who took part in the unique protest were clad in sarees. The residents of the area have placed a demand that the responsibility of taking care of the locality should be given to the concerned Municipality. The residents said that, if their demand is not met, they will not pay the property tax and other taxes.
Speaking to the media, the residents said that the complaint on the poor condition of the roads was raised with the concerned officials. But there is no change in the road condition. The poor condition is resulting in road accidents. Despite this, the roads are not being repaired. If not used for the repairs, then where are our taxes going? They asked.
