Is it a road or a pond? Troubled by mud and potholes, the villagers of Rionaiya appealed to the DM, accusing Pradhan of neglecting them.

Badaun, December 15: The main road of Rioniya village located in Ujhani block of Badaun district is in complete disrepair, due to which it has become difficult for school children and common villagers to move around. There is a lot of anger among the villagers due to the road not being taken care of. Now, accusing the village head of ignoring him due to the intoxication of power, he has directly requested the District Magistrate to get the road constructed after getting the matter investigated.

This main road of the village has been completely transformed into potholes. Even in light rain, conditions of mud and waterlogging arise, making it difficult to identify where is the road and where is the pothole. The biggest problem is faced by small school going children who have to pass through this broken and muddy road every day. Many times children slip and fall, due to which their clothes and books get spoiled.

“Pradhan ji is intoxicated with power.”

The villagers allege that they have appealed to the village head several times regarding this serious problem, but every time they got only assurance. A villager said angrily, “We told Pradhan ji dozens of times to get the road repaired, children are falling, people are worried. But it seems he is intoxicated by being associated with the ruling party and does not see the problems of the villagers.”

Demand for investigation from District Magistrate

Disappointed with the village head, the villagers have now approached the top officials of the district. He has submitted a complaint letter to the District Magistrate, Badaun, informing him about the poor condition of the village. The villagers have demanded that considering the seriousness of the matter, an investigation should be conducted and the main road of the village should be constructed as soon as possible, so that they can get relief from this “hell-like life”.
