Major road scam in Maharashtra’s Jalna: Villagers lift newly-made road like a carpet with bare hands

A startling incident has recently surfaced in Jalna, Maharashtra, shedding light on a concerning situation. The villagers residing in the area were witnessed lifting a newly constructed road as if it were a mere carpet. This incident occurred specifically in the Karjat-Hast Pokhari region of Ambad taluka. The road construction project was executed under the Prime Minister’s Rural Road Scheme, involving the participation of a contractor who claimed to employ advanced German technology for the construction process. However, the residents soon realized that these assertions were misleading, as the construction work turned out to be a temporary and substandard solution. Outraged by this fraudulent act, the villagers took matters into their own hands and physically lifted the road, thus exposing the shoddy workmanship. A video capturing this incident and revealing the scam quickly went viral, attracting significant attention to the matter. #jalna #maharashtra #road Subscribe to The Times of India’s YouTube channel: For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: Instagram: Download the app: Follow TOI for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: Twitter: Instagram:
