Chhatarpur Students Protest for Road and Electricity Access, Officials Respond
On Independence Day in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district, schoolchildren protested long distances seeking basic infrastructure like roads, bridges, and electricity. In Tatam village, students marched over 40 km, meeting local BJP MLA Kamakhya Pratap Singh late at night, who assured tender processes would begin soon. Separately, students in Basrahi stopped Minister Dilip Ahirwar's convoy to highlight similar demands. The minister cited land issues delaying road construction but promised resolution. Both incidents reflect ongoing infrastructure challenges affecting students' access to education.
