Madhya Pradesh: Residents protest in unusual way against poor condition of road in Anuppur, turn water-filled pit into beach
Ahead of the panchayat and urban body elections in the district, the residents protested in an unusual way against the poor condition of the road connecting Anuppur and Bijuri Manendragrah in Madhya Pradesh.
There have been times when residents appeal to the administration about the poor condition of the streets, roads, society, or issues related to water and electricity, but all of these get unheard of sometimes.
Residents make up leeway to get their problems solved as quickly as possible which the administration doesn’t pay heed to sometimes, and then the residents have to try some other way. One such incident happened in Madhya Pradesh’s Anuppur when residents found a new and unique way to protest their problems.
Ahead of the panchayat and urban body elections in the district, the residents protested in an unusual way against the poor condition of the road connecting Anuppur and Bijuri Manendragrah. Residents turned the water-filled pit into a beach. The image of the same has been going viral on social media.

Due to the rain in that area, the potholed roads have been filled with water, which makes it even more difficult for people to commute. Despite lodging several complaints to get the road repaired, no action was taken. So, the residents fixed the seats on the sides of the potholed road and arranged snacks and tea, giving it a beach look. They also planted flowers on the sides of the road.
According to reports, the road’s state has gotten worse since big dumpers routinely use it to unload coal near the train station. This further damages the road. The majority of it falls on the residents of the ward and on bystanders.
