Incomplete culvert near ancient temple of Rokdiya Babaji is also posing a risk to commuters. The authorities concerned have remained apathetic and have failed to take any step to complete the construction work- consequently the commuters continue to suffer.
The farmers in the village are irked as the roads connecting the rural areas with their fields are in the worst condition.
A farmer Rajesh Harsola sharing his plight said that the road adjoining Khetiya has been cut off at many places- causing problems in accessing their farms. Accident may take place at any time if the road not constructed immediately.

It is high time authorities take up repairs, rued a farmer.
