In Badi Budhiya village, located in the Samrer development block of Dataganj tehsil in Badaun district, the deplorable condition of roads has become a serious problem for the residents. Most of the village lanes are completely broken and waterlogged in several places. This issue exacerbates during the rainy season, making it difficult for people to leave their homes.

According to villagers, the path used daily by school children is particularly prone to waterlogging. Children are forced to wade through mud and dirty water to reach school, facing considerable difficulties. There have been instances where children have slipped and fallen. The movement of two-wheelers and four-wheelers further spreads the mud on the roads. This has also led to accidents involving बाइक riders, making commuting even more hazardous.

The villagers allege that they have repeatedly requested concerned officials and public representatives to repair the roads and improve drainage, but no concrete action has been taken so far. They state that while the government makes grand claims about rural development, the roads in Badi Budhiya village expose the reality of these claims.

Residents including Akash, Avneesh, Suresh, Mahesh, Ramveer, Ram Singh, and Ganga Prasad, among others, have urged the district administration to promptly construct the dilapidated roads and provide a permanent solution to the waterlogging problem. Villagers have warned that if attention is not paid to this issue in time, their troubles will increase during the monsoon, and the risk of a major accident cannot be ruled out.
