Protest in Harisiddhi demanding road pitch

Residents of Harisiddhi in Lalitpur have protested by planting paddy on the road saying that the road should be pitched.

At the call of 'Gumaj Mahila Samuha', various women's groups of Harisiddhi have protested by planting paddy in the road on Monday demanding to pitch the road. Residents of Harisiddhi blocked the road and chanted slogans and planted paddy on the muddy road.

The agitating locals chanted slogans such as 'We are going to die by eating dust more than Corona', 'This is not our interest, it is our obligation', 'Pitch the road quickly'. Locals have complained that the people have been tortured by pouring soil on the roads that need to be pitched with gravel.

The locals say that they will continue the agitation till the road is pitched.
