The troubled people have appealed for help from local leaders to the collector but no one is listening to their pain. Vishram Saket of the village said, “People of Harijan colony used to reach the main road through the wide embankment. Which has been blocked by the people of Khajuri Dham. Now the people of Scheduled Caste and Tribe are facing the problem of road. Where should they go? Water is also not being arranged from anywhere.” People say that their families have been living here for more than 100 years. Such a problem never came up.
