The residents of Uppalwadi in North Nagpur made a human chain to protest the neglect of roads by the authorities. People stood in ditches on the roads to make the human chain attract the authorities’ attention.
The residents of Madhav Nagar, Dattatray Nagar, Govind Gadh, SRA Complex and Uppalwadi participated in the novel protest.
The ditches filled with water and slush pose serious problems for the commuters. Accidents have become a routine on the roads in these areas.
The residents of SRA Complex said that their appeals to the civic authorities fell on deaf ears. They had to resort to such agitation to attract the attention of the authorities.
