What Happened
Hundreds of schoolchildren from Chandupur and surrounding villages in the Kurara block of Hamirpur district, accompanied by local residents and parents, marched to the district magistrate's office on Tuesday. The protesters carried the national flag and posters while chanting slogans to demand the construction of a paved road connecting their village to the district headquarters. The demonstration took place at the collectorate compound where the participants sought to voice their grievances directly to the district magistrate.
Residents report that the village has lacked a paved road since independence, leaving students and villagers to rely on a dirt path that becomes unusable during the monsoon season. This protest follows a recent demonstration by students in the Fatehpur district regarding inadequate school infrastructure. The incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding rural connectivity and basic infrastructure access in the region.
