Villagers Strip Gravel from Newly Built Road, Viral Video Sparks Outrage on Social Media

Trending News: These days a video is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In the video, villagers are seen taking out gravel from the newly built road and taking it to their homes. This act has raised a question among the people: if people themselves become an obstacle in the path of development, then how can progress be expected?

Governments are focusing on road construction

The state and central governments are continuously working on road construction across the country and building paved roads in rural areas. The purpose of new highways and rural roads is to increase the convenience of the people and speed up regional development. But this video shows that if the local people do not respect the construction work, then obstacles may arise in the path of development.

What is seen in the video

It can be clearly seen in the video that the road is newly built and is wet. Despite this, many people—including women and girls—are taking ballast from the road to their homes. The ballast is probably being used for household purposes or to carry to their courtyards, but this is affecting the quality of the road.

Social media reaction

This video has been shared on Twitter by @nehraji77. The caption of the video reads, 'Sadak banati rahegi, ghar ke lintel ke liye rodi ka jugaad karte hain.' This video of just 13 seconds has been viewed more than 4 lakh times so far and has received more than 5 thousand likes.

People gave sharp reactions

The reactions of the users are also sharp, like the video. Some said that it is difficult for the country to develop with people having such thinking. At the same time, keeping in mind the poor conditions, some wrote that when there are no resources, people will be forced to take out things from their homes. One user wrote, 'Let alone the government, even God cannot do anything in this country,' while another said, 'The local administration should pay attention to this; it is a matter of shame.'

Message of development and responsibility

The authenticity of the video has not been fully confirmed yet as to which village it is from, but due to going viral, this incident highlights the difference between development and civic responsibility. It reminds us that roads are not made only by the hard work of the government, but the understanding and responsibility of the people are equally important.
