What’s inside:
Villagers in Darbhanga are upset over changes to the Shobhan-Ekmi bypass road, claiming it benefits builders at their expense.
In Darbhanga, villagers and farmers are very unhappy about changes happening to the Shobhan-Ekmi bypass road. They believe that the road is being altered to help certain builders, which is causing a lot of unrest in the community.
The Road Construction Department has recently finished surveying land for the road. Villagers are claiming that the road’s alignment is being changed on purpose to save some illegal constructions near Shobhan Chowk. They feel this is unfair and a betrayal of earlier promises that the road would remain straight.
If the road is made crooked, farmers worry they will have to take a longer route through Kansi Chowk to reach Darbhanga and Sitamarhi, adding about three kilometers to their journey. This could lead to traffic jams and increase the chances of accidents, especially with the risk of waterlogging near NH-27.
Many villagers feel that their crops and farmland are at risk because of these changes. They believe that the district administration and the road construction department are working together in a way that harms local farmers while protecting illegal buildings.
Villagers have warned that if their homes and farmland are not protected from acquisition, they will protest. The situation in Darbhanga is now about more than just road construction; it’s about standing up for their rights and seeking justice.
