Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Villagers from Kolki village in the Sendhwa Assembly constituency staged a protest on Tuesday, walking nearly 25-km to submit a memorandum over poor road conditions.

Braving intense heat, they reached Sendhwa and handed over a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister to Naib Tehsildar Sudhir Sharma.

Residents warned of a stronger agitation if construction does not begin soon. They said a 6.84-km road from Patel Faliya to Mohan Padawa has remained in poor condition for years.

A detailed project report worth Rs 4.86 crore was prepared in 2022, but work has not started.

Sarpanch representative Atal Bihari Arya said the village is the native place of Antar Singh Arya, yet basic infrastructure remains neglected. During the monsoon, the road turns muddy, while potholes disrupt movement in summer.

Former MLA Gyarsilal Rawat, Subhadra Parmar and several villagers participated in the protest, demanding immediate approval of funds and construction of the road.
