As per reports, the road in Totaigach village has been in poor condition for a long time. On Monday, frustrated villagers planted paddy seedlings on the flooded and muddy road, demanding immediate repairs. According to the protestors, the road’s construction had begun after a prolonged delay but was abruptly halted. The recent rain has exacerbated the situation, causing significant inconvenience for school and college students as well as local residents.
