Sivasagar Residents Protest Poor Road Conditions With Mock Fishing
Imagine a road that's so full of holes, it looks like a pond.
That's what happened in Sivasagar, India.
The local residents were upset because the road was in terrible shape and the government wasn't fixing it.
So, they decided to do a funny protest by pretending to fish in the potholes.
The road was supposed to be fixed, but the workers stopped, and now it's hard to drive on and even dangerous.
The people want the government to finish the road work or just fix it so they can travel safely.
Locals in Sivasagar staged a mock fishing protest on the dilapidated Dhodar Ali Road.
The road is riddled with deep potholes and has become nearly impassable.
Protesters used fishing nets and scoops to highlight the road's poor condition.
The road was supposed to be improved under the Asom Mala Scheme, but work stopped.
Residents demand the authorities either complete the project or repair the road.
