Villagers in Ward No. 12 of Katai village, under Bijalpur Panchayat in Sattar Katai block of Saharsa district, are facing severe difficulties due to the dilapidated condition of their road. The road is riddled with large potholes, which fill with rainwater, making commuting a major challenge for residents. The situation worsens significantly during the rainy season, causing immense trouble for schoolchildren, the elderly, and patients trying to reach hospitals.

Residents have repeatedly appealed to local public representatives and concerned officials for road repairs, but no concrete action has been taken so far. The poor state of the road poses a constant risk of accidents. Locals allege that despite grand claims of development, their ground-level problems remain unresolved. Villagers including Ram Kumar, Shyam Yadav, Rajesh Mandal, Mukesh Kumar, Sanjeev Yadav, Ranjit Kumar, Manoj Paswan, Dilip Sah, Sunil Kumar, and Vijay Yadav have urged the administration to initiate road construction and repair work promptly. They have warned that if their issues are not addressed soon, they will be forced to resort to protests and other democratic means of agitation.
