Sanawad (Madhya Pradesh): Amid ongoing construction work along Indore-Icchapur Highway, villagers especially farmers have to face problems of rising dust due to the construction work which is affecting their standing crops.

Local farmers Rakesh Patel and Shyam Bobadiya claimed that villagers and farmers from over five villages have to bear the brunt due to negligence of the contractor. They are suffering losses due to the dust menace as cotton crops have been damaged.

They also reported difficulty in breathing and uneasiness. Dust pollution has been caused during the four-lane work of the road.
