Women Resort To Road Blockade To Ban Heavy Vehicles On Residential Road
Alot (Madhya Pradesh): Residents of Bhambhi Pura demanded a ban on heavy vehicles entering their residential area due to safety and health concerns. Despite informing the SDM, tehsildar and CMO, no action was taken. Tensions peaked when a cement-laden truck attempted to pass through, prompting local women to block the road and sit-in protest under the scorching 43-degree heat.
Police arrived but couldn't resolve the issue, leading SDM Sunil Kumar Jaiswal to send tehsildar Sonam Bhagat. The women highlighted the risks of accidents and health hazards from the frequent passage of large trucks and the presence of a cement warehouse.
Councillor Bhayu Panchhi and municipal council president representative Abhishek Jain also intervened, persuading the women to allow the truck to pass. Tehsildar Bhagat assured residents that government regulations restrict heavy vehicle operations in residential areas between 10 pm to 6 am. This protest underscores the ongoing conflict between urban development and residential safety.
