Rajasthan Road Washed Away Days Before Inauguration: Villagers Demand Probe
A newly constructed road in Rajasthan’s Jhunjhunu district, meant to connect Baghwali-Jahaj to National Highway 52, has been washed away by heavy rains just days before its inauguration. The incident has left villagers of Papra and Panchlagi stranded and fueled allegations of substandard construction materials.
Katli River Swells, New Road Disappears
The heavy downpour caused the Katli river to swell, overwhelming the newly built road and leaving it in ruins. This has severed the crucial connection between Papra and Panchlagi villages and the national highway, disrupting daily life and raising concerns about the quality of the construction.

Villagers are pointing fingers at the use of substandard materials in the road’s construction as the primary reason for its swift collapse. They are demanding a high-level investigation into the matter and action against those responsible. Furthermore, they insist on expert supervision for any future construction to prevent a repeat of this unfortunate incident.
