Bihar Road Widening Project Leaves Trees in the Road's Path
Imagine a new road, but with trees in the middle!
That's what happened in Jehanabad, Bihar.
The local government wanted to make the road wider, but the forest department wouldn't let them cut down the trees.
They couldn't agree on a solution, so the road was built around the trees.
Now, drivers have to swerve around them, making it dangerous and increasing the risk of accidents.
A road widening project in Jehanabad, Bihar, features trees in the middle of the road.
The 7.48 km road is part of the Patna-Gaya main road.
The forest department denied permission to remove the trees.
The district administration proceeded with road construction around the trees.
Commuters face increased accident risk due to the obstruction.
