Villagers in Sitamarhi district have been on a hunger strike since September 8, protesting the dilapidated condition of a 500-meter main road connecting Raipur in Nanpur block to Naya Tol in Bokhra block. The road is riddled with large potholes, which are now filled with rainwater, causing significant difficulties for pedestrians and motorists and raising fears of accidents.

The road in the Kurhar Panchayat area is completely broken. Young activist Pintu Kumar, along with his companions, is leading the hunger strike, demanding a solution to the problem. Protesters have intensified their demonstration by setting up a platform amidst the waterlogged potholes on the road. They are demanding that MLA Rameshwar Mahto and Sitamarhi District Magistrate Tanay Sultania visit the site to assess the road's condition and initiate a resolution.

The villagers have warned that their protest will continue until public representatives and officials personally address their concerns and take steps towards a solution. They are urging the concerned department to promptly repair the dilapidated road and establish a permanent drainage system. Residents emphasize that this road is a crucial link for several nearby villages, and its poor state has led to widespread anger among the community.
