A dry tree fell on the Kanpa-Bikram main road near Karsa village, Ward No. 2, Bikram Nagar Panchayat, Patna district, late Thursday night due to strong winds. This incident completely blocked traffic on the main road on Friday, leading to long queues of vehicles on both sides and significant inconvenience for commuters.

Upon receiving information about the incident, local residents informed the Bikram Police Station. The police promptly requested the Forest Department to remove the tree. However, according to locals, the Forest Department delayed action. Subsequently, Bikram Police took the initiative and, with the help of local laborers, removed the tree from the road, restoring normal traffic flow.

Following this incident, local resident Sunil Kumar and others expressed concern over the dry trees standing along the roadside. They stated that many trees along the Kanpa-Bikram main road have been dry and weak for a long time, posing a risk of falling during strong winds or storms. Such trees could cause major accidents, leading to loss of life and property. Residents also mentioned that falling trees often snap electricity wires, affecting power supply in the area.

Local residents have urged the concerned department to conduct a survey of all dry and weak trees along the roadside and remove them promptly to reduce the risk of future traffic disruptions and accidents.
