A centuries-old road in Baherwa Majra Mirganj of Unchahar police station area of Raebareli district has been dug up by the bullies with a JCB. Due to this, the movement of Dalit families living there has been disrupted.
The matter is of interlocking construction. Shiv Sharan, Gayatri, Sheetal Din and Raj Kumar of the village said that this is a road that has been in use for hundreds of years. There was already a construction of pavement on it. The current Pradhan was getting the work of interlocking done on this road.
Meanwhile, Ankit, a resident of the village, claimed that interlocking is being installed on his Bhumadhari land. On the complaint of the villagers, Naib Tehsildar Sambhu Sharan Pandey inspected the spot. After measuring the land, he refused to do interlocking on Ankit’s Bhumidhari land. Also said not to stop the movement of the villagers.
But as soon as the Naib Tehsildar left from there, the construction of interlocking started. After this, the people of the opposition Ankit’s family called JCB and got the road dug up. The villagers made a video of the road being dug up by JCB and made it viral.
The villagers have also informed the higher officials about this matter. But no official has reached the spot again yet. The villagers say that all Dalit families live in this Purva. If the road is not opened, the movement of all the people will be disrupted.
In this case, the dominance of the bullies is more visible than the law. The villagers are demanding immediate action from the local administration. On this matter, SDM Rajesh Kumar said that the information about the case has been received from the villagers. He assured that legal action will be taken after inspecting the spot.
