Despite multiple complaints, there has been no substantial improvement, leading to heightened risks for commuters. Authorities remain unresponsive, with no visible efforts to address the long-standing road issues. Locals claim that even though incidents involving reckless truck drivers are not uncommon in the region, law enforcement has failed to take adequate measures to ensure road safety.
As part of the event, the Chief Minister planted saplings within the university campus.
