Frustrated by a deteriorated road in Badabajnanath village, Krishna Paswan scaled a mobile tower and refused to descend until the issue is fixed, prompting officials to intervene.
Krishna Paswan, a resident of Badabajnanath village in Muzaffarpur district, climbed a mobile telephone tower on Saturday to draw attention to the poor condition of the village road. He announced that he would not come down until the authorities repaired the road, which locals say has become hazardous due to potholes and uneven surfaces.
Local officials were alerted to the incident and reached the site shortly after. Police and district administration officials engaged Paswan in dialogue, explaining the safety risks of remaining on the tower and urging him to descend.
After a brief negotiation, Paswan agreed to come down safely. The administration has pledged to inspect the road and take corrective action, though no specific timeline was provided at the time of reporting.
The incident highlights growing frustration in rural Bihar over inadequate infrastructure and the lengths to which residents may go to demand basic services.
Authorities have urged the public to report infrastructure problems through official channels rather than resorting to dangerous protests.
