Video: A nervous local formed the Cabinet Minister #Baldevsinghaulakh walked on a muddy road in #Rampur https://t.co/6D7D7D7- TOIWESTUP (@Oiwestup) 1630296790000 Saturday afternoon gave locals from Bilaspur Tehsil the opportunity to vent.
They gathered and stopped the Convoy of the Cabinet Minister Baldev Singh Aulakh.
He was told to go down and walk on the road.
And he did it, when his Cavalcade followed him.
Then, the Minister, who is also a local MLA, slammed the attitude of irresponsible local administration and civil bodies.
The Convoy of the BJP Minister, accompanied by Ravindra District Judge (DM) Ravindra Kumar Mander and several other senior district administrative officials, visited to inaugurate newly built oxygen plants in the city.
It stopped on the road which also led to the Community Health Center (CHC).
Local residents who stopped the minister’s car was nervous because several complaints to repair the road over the past few months did not produce any results.
Sukhdev Singh, a local, said, “Nothing was done to overcome the problem of people, even though there were several complaints.
The road conditions continued to deteriorate.
Rain makes it worse.
We can’t walk.
Hundreds of people use this road every day.” Saleem Ahmed, Local, said, “After the recent rain, the holes on the road have been filled with rainwater.
It becomes difficult to identify which is deeper.
The risk of accidents is always there.
Not only pedestrians, it’s challenging for those who are on Wheels also.
“A few hours after protests, Rampi DM held a meeting with several senior officials and asked them to immediately repair the road.
The BJP Minister said, “The problem faced by people must be handled earliest.” While overcoming the people at the inauguration event, he accused the local administration of “irresponsible for development work in the area”.
Aulakh also convinced people that he would take problems at the state level.
Last month, BJP MLA from Garhmukteshwar, Kamal Malik, who was in ‘Padusyatra’ to a village in the Nanai Hapur area ahead of the state polls next year, was dragged on a road flooded.
