In Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, a group of 456 students from Government Higher Secondary School in Patai village have taken to protest for over a decade now, demanding an approach road to their school. Despite a sanctioned amount of ₹10.04 lakh for constructing a 300-meter cement concrete road, the road construction remains stalled.
Since 1956, the school has been serving students from Class 1 to 12, comprising 222 boys and 234 girls. The school, being only 250 meters away from the main road, experiences significant difficulties due to the absence of an approach road. The commute for both students and staff becomes a challenge.
The Adampur Landfill Management in Bhopal was handed over to a Saurashtra firm for five years, and the Bhopal Municipal Corporation approved ₹200 crore green bonds in August. However, these developments have not yet translated into the much-needed road construction.
Initially, the administration had given the students a one-week ultimatum to start the road construction, but their concerns were not heeded. Rewa district collector Narendra Suryavanshi assured that the administration and government were highly sensitive to the issues faced by children. He stated that officials were actively interacting with the students, listening to their complaints, and committed to resolving the issue soon.
