Durshet Villagers Stage Jalsamadhi Protest Over Quarry Transport

Durshet Villagers Stage Jalsamadhi Protest Over Quarry Transport

Villagers in Durshet are upset because big trucks from nearby quarries are driving through their town too often, causing problems.

They've been complaining, but nothing changed, so they staged a protest called 'Jalsamadhi,' where they stood in water.

They want the trucks to stop and a new road built.

They're also worried that quarry owners are dumping waste in the river, which could cause floods.

The government officials promised to talk about their problems and stop the trucks for now.

Many people, including political leaders, support the villagers' cause.
