Jharkhand: Bokaro Village Youths Build 5-KM Road After Appeals to PM Go Unheard
News 18Remember the ‘Ekla cholo re’ song by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore? After their appeals to PM Narendra Modi and actor Sonu Sood failed, they took up axes and shovels to carve a road in their remote village. Sanjay Mahato, who hails from the highly militancy-affected Aman village, which is situated in the Gomia block of Bokaro district of Jharkhand, had previously urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actor Sonu Sood to push for the construction of a road in the area and to convey the demand to Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. After failing to elicit a response from PM and Sood, the youth of the village decided to take the matter into their own hands and started working on the five-kilometre road. A link path was already being constructed by the local administration from Jhumra, but even that could not be constructed in the Aman village because of the non-receipt of NOC from the Forest Department.
