Bilkhaura Khurd link road is in dilapidated condition for 20 years
In village Bilkhaura Khurd, a council school was even locked after protesting for about 25 days demanding road construction. The villagers had warned of boycotting the voting due to non-construction of about two and a half kilometer stretch of road. Till now the approach road of village Bilkhaur Khurd has not been handed over to any department, due to which the construction work of this road has not been done. The villagers are adamant on the demand for road construction. Villagers say that the condition of this road has been dilapidated for about 20 years.
Many efforts have been made for road construction. This connection of just 2 kilometers has been dilapidated for years. Children are not able to even go out of the village to study.-Ramesh Chandra, Bilkhaura Khurd.
This public relations route of ours does not come under any department. For this reason no department is constructing this road. Our demand is that the road should be constructed by handing it over to some department.-Mukesh Chandra, Bilkhaura Khurd.
