Villagers in Gajapati district join hands to repair 5km damaged road

Berhampur: More than 100 villagers — most of them women — from Gambharigaon and Kamaguda in Gajapati district ’s Mohana block came together to repair the road connecting to their villages after the district administration failed to fulfill their long-standing demand.

The road between Dhepaguda to Madakupa, a remote village, was in bad shape for several years. The situation would worsen during the rainy season. Villagers kept appealing to the district administration for a proper road, but it never materialised.
