Villagers on the Parra‑Sarauja road in Begusarai staged a unique protest, naming potholes after local legislators and MPs to highlight road neglect.
Begusarai’s Parra‑Sarauja road has long suffered from severe potholes and cracked surfaces, causing frequent accidents and transport delays.
In a creative display of dissent, local villagers marked several of the most dangerous potholes with signs naming them after the district’s legislators and national MPs.
The act was meant to draw attention to the lack of timely repairs and the perceived neglect by elected representatives.
Authorities have yet to respond publicly, but the protest has already sparked discussions in local media about road maintenance accountability.
