Kalahandi, 24th Oct 2025: In Kalahandi district’s Jayapatna block, near the Motelguda Crusher Square, students of Arebeda Patitapabana College blocked the Motor-Mukhiguda PWD road demanding immediate repair work.
According to reports, the RD road passing through the Crusher Square has been in a deplorable condition for a long time, causing severe inconvenience to students who travel daily on this route. Moreover, the bridge in the middle of the road has collapsed, due to which even Laxmi buses are no longer operating on this route.
As a result, students are forced to walk around 5 kilometers every day to reach their destination. Despite several complaints and requests submitted to the authorities, no action has been taken so far.
Out of frustration, the students blocked the main road today to draw attention to their demands. Upon learning about the protest, the Jayapatna BDO and the Kalampur police administration reached the spot and held discussions with the students, after which the issue was temporarily resolved.
