2,500 students and villagers in Jhajha block, Bihar face daily hardship on the dilapidated Yaksharaj Sthan-Tarakura road. The 10 km stretch connecting several panchayats remains unpaved for decades due to forest land issues. Students, pregnant women, and locals struggle with deep potholes and waterlogged sections. The forest department suggested land exchange to allow construction. Villagers have protested multiple times, but no action has been taken. A religious site and private school are located on this important rural link. Parents worry about accidents on the treacherous route. Some even pooled ₹15,000 to repair a section themselves. Students lament getting bicycles from the CM but no proper road to ride them on. (Updated 1 Sep 2025, 04:14 IST; source: link)
