Residents of Sahora village in Hayaghat block, Darbhanga, staged a unique protest on Tuesday against severe waterlogging on their village road. Frustrated by the persistent problem, villagers placed a cot in the middle of the waterlogged road and blocked traffic with bamboo poles on both sides. They then sat on the cot, playing drums, mridangams, and naals, chanting 'Ram-Ram'. During the protest, they also raised slogans against the local MLA and minister, Ramchandra Prasad.

The road blockade disrupted traffic on the crucial Anandpur-Majhaulia-Thalwara station road, forcing hundreds of commuters to take alternative routes. Villagers stated that approximately one kilometer of the road suffers from waterlogging at multiple spots, and their demands for road and drain construction have gone unaddressed for years. Ratneshwar Jha highlighted the lack of proper drainage, leading to constant water accumulation, posing a risk of falls and injuries, especially for students and the elderly.

Manish Kumar Jha mentioned that despite numerous complaints to officials and public representatives, no action has been taken. With the Chhath Mahaparv approaching, villagers are demanding immediate road repairs and drainage solutions. They emphasized that many devotees use this route to reach Chhath ghats, and waterlogging would cause significant hardship. The villagers warned that their protest would continue until a permanent solution to their problems is found.
