Jaipur Residents Protest Road Conditions with Astronaut-Themed Demonstration
Residents of Jaipur's Jhotwara area staged a two-hour protest dressed as astronauts to highlight the worsening condition of local roads, which have deep potholes and waterlogging worsened by recent rains. The demonstration included a mock rocket and aimed to draw attention to the area's damaged roads and drainage issues. Residents have repeatedly raised concerns with local officials, including MLA Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, but say their complaints remain unaddressed. Police seized the mock rocket and issued a challan during the protest.
