Bhiwani’s Kirti Nagar residents threaten to hold protest over lack of civic amenities

Residents of Kirti Nagar in Bhiwani town have been facing hardship due to lack of basic civic amenities, as the streets of the locality are riddled with potholes, posing a constant risk of accidents, especially for two-wheeler riders.

Adding to their woes, the area has been facing a scarcity of potable water supply, forcing families to purchase water or fetch it from distant locations. Ashok Sharma and Manju Sharma, residents of the locality, said they had submitted complaints to the local municipal councillor but received only assurances, with no action on the ground.

They said that the narrow lane connected to a busy mini-bypass and witnessed frequent movement of heavy vehicles, further damaging the already dilapidated road and increasing safety risks. Locals added that even walking has become difficult due to the poor condition of the street and ongoing sewerage-related issues.

The residents expressed resentment over the alleged official apathy. They warned that they would stage protest demonstrations at the MC office if action was not taken at the earliest to redress their grievances.
