Tribal People Protest Abandoned Road Construction in Anakapalli
People in a district are upset because the roads are not finished.
The government gave money to build roads, and workers started digging them up, but then stopped.
Now the roads are full of holes, and it's hard for people to travel, even for ambulances.
The people planted trees to show their frustration and are asking the government to finish the work.
They are worried because they have to walk very far to get to important places.
Tribal people in Anakapalli district protested abandoned road work.
Protests involved planting saplings and staging a dharna on the damaged roads.
Road work on two routes in Ravikamatham mandal was left incomplete after starting in January 2024.
The state government sanctioned ₹6.98 crore in October 2023 for a 14-kilometer road.
Protesters threatened to intensify their actions if road work does not resume soon.
