Tripura, 3 August 2025: Villagers in the South Ghilatali Panchayat area under the Kalyanpur–Pramodenagar Assembly Constituency constituency staged a unique protest by planting paddy saplings on a damaged road, expressing their frustration over the authorities’ failure to repair it.
According to locals, the only main road connecting the area becomes nearly unusable during the monsoon season. Despite repeatedly appealing to the concerned authorities to repair the road, no action has been taken so far.
The poor condition of the road is severely affecting daily movement for residents, especially school-going children, patients, and even access to the local Panchayat office.
As a form of protest, villagers planted paddy saplings on the road to draw attention to their plight. They said that since their repeated pleas had fallen on deaf ears, they were compelled to take this step in the hope that it would stir the authorities into taking immediate action.
