In Maharashtra's Nashik, schoolchildren creatively used water bottles as makeshift microphones to highlight the poor condition of local roads affecting their daily commute. Shared by Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijit Dipke, the videos have drawn attention to civic issues and sparked online discussions about infrastructure and child safety.
