Dehradun Protests Elevated Road Project After Deadly Floods
People in Dehradun are upset about a plan to build a road above two rivers.
This is because recent heavy rains caused terrible floods, and they're worried the new road will make things worse.
They held a protest to say they don't want the project.
The plan involves building roads over the Rispana and Bindal rivers, which might damage the rivers and could destroy their homes.
They are concerned about more pollution, water shortages, and loss of trees, too.
Protests were held in Dehradun against the Rispana-Bindal Elevated Corridor Project.
The project is planned over the Rispana and Bindal riverbeds.
Protesters voiced concerns the project will worsen flooding and displace residents.
The project has a cost of Rs 6,200 crore.
The project threatens over 2,600 structures.
