The street has been broken down three years ago." He said former MLA sanctioned and BDO Hiranagar withdrew fund for the same street that astonished people who triggered protest earlier but all was in vain. He said RTI exposed the menace and corrupt attitude of the officers.Ram Paul another villager demanded severe inquiry against such corrupt officers and even involvement of politician if any. He said if the amount was withdrawn it should have been utilized properly so that people may not suffer due to bad road connectivity.
