Auraiya: RLD Delegation Meets SDM Over Dilapidated Roads In Saraiya, Devarpur

A delegation of Rashtriya Lok Dal Auraiya met the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Auraiya over the poor condition of roads in Saraiya and Devarpur, and submitted a written application demanding urgent action on the issue of damaged roads and problems being faced by the public.

The delegation was led by RLD Auraiya district president Sagar Shukla Advocate. The party office-bearers raised the issue of the extremely bad condition of the Saraiya road, deep potholes on the route, and possible encroachment along the road. They urged the Sub-Divisional Magistrate to ensure immediate action.

The delegation also informed the Sub-Divisional Magistrate about a recent distressing incident linked to the condition of the Saraiya road. According to the delegation, the brother of Shri Yogesh Tiwari ji, a resident of Phaphund, had died at Kanpur Cardiology. The family, already grieving the loss of a loved one, was bringing the body back from Kanpur for the last rites at home.

However, near Saraiya, the vehicle carrying the body got stuck in a deep pothole on the road. Family members and nearby people made several efforts to get the vehicle out, but because of the bad road condition, the vehicle could not move ahead.

The situation became such that the family had to call a loader from Phaphund to take the body home. The body then had to be shifted from one vehicle to another. The delegation said the incident did not only show the poor condition of the road, but also reflected the pain of a family that had to face a broken road system even during the final journey of a loved one.

RLD district president Sagar Shukla Advocate said that if even a vehicle carrying a dead body is forced to stop on the way because of potholes, and the family has to shift the body to another vehicle, then the situation is certainly a matter of serious concern.

He said ambulances, schoolgirls, traders, advocates and ordinary passersby are also continuously facing problems because of the poor condition of this route. In such a situation, he said, immediate repair of the road is extremely necessary in the public interest.

Along with Saraiya, the delegation also raised the issue of the road in Devarpur village, which it described as completely damaged. The delegation requested that a spot inspection be conducted at both places and necessary repair work be carried out.

The delegation further demanded that wherever encroachment is found on government or public land along the route, action should be taken as per rules. The demand was placed before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate as part of the written application submitted by the RLD office-bearers.

After listening seriously to the problems raised by the delegation, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate assured them that the matter would be resolved soon. The Rashtriya Lok Dal expressed hope that the department concerned would soon carry out action on the ground and provide relief to people living in the Saraiya and Devarpur areas.

Those present in the delegation included district general secretary Advocate Gopal Das Sarraf, senior advocate Ad Gopal Swaroop Gandhi, Ad Mukesh Savita, Ad Manish Gautam, district secretary Junaid Khan, Ad Durgesh Tiwari, Prashu Pathak, Manish Kumar, district general secretary Kasim Khan and others. The representation was made under the leadership of Sagar Shukla Advocate, district president, Rashtriya Lok Dal, Auraiya.
