Villagers in Bihar's Bakhtiarpur block are protesting against the construction of a new road, alleging that it is being built without removing the old one. The move is seen as a violation of a High Court order.
The controversy surrounds the construction of a new road from the four-lane highway to Ravaiya village and further to SH-106 in Bakhtiarpur block. Locals claim that the contractor, in collusion with officials, is building the new road without removing the old one, thus violating a High Court order. The villagers are agitated over the issue and have expressed their discontent. The High Court order had specified that the old road should be removed before constructing a new one. However, the contractor seems to have ignored this directive, leading to the current impasse.
