Schoolgirls from Behala Jot Shibrampur School in Maheshtala, West Bengal, took to the streets on Monday to protest the deplorable condition of the road leading to their school. The pothole-ridden stretch has become a significant safety hazard, particularly during the monsoon season, with students describing it as a "death trap."
The protest, which involved a road blockade, aimed to bring attention to the issue and demand urgent repairs from local authorities. Braving the rain, the girls called out what they perceived as administrative negligence in addressing the infrastructure problem. This demonstration highlights a growing concern regarding infrastructure inadequacies in the region and underscores the power of young voices in advocating for change.
