Villagers of Nedusalai in the district on Thursday staged a road roko demonstration demanding low level bridge and road facilities.
Nedusalai is a village under Marachandram panchayat in Veppanahalli panchayat union. More than 700 families live in this village.
On Thursday, more than 100 villagers staged a road roko dharna near the bus stand. He said that there is a confluence of three rivers Markandeya, Gupta and Swarnamukhi in the village.
During rains and floods, the village remains isolated and they are unable to go anywhere. The students of the village are also struggling to cross the river to reach the schools. We could not cross the river during the medical emergency. “Therefore, we have sought lower level bridge and road facility for our village and filed petitions several times, but no action was taken,” he said.

The officials reached the spot and talked to the villagers and assured that soon a lower level bridge would be built. After the assurance, the villagers withdrew the one-hour dharna.
