Villagers express traffic and environmental concerns in Raia

At the Raia gram sabha, villagers raised concerns about traffic safety and environmental issues. They highlighted poor maintenance of speed breakers and rumbler strips, which have contributed to accidents. They suggested police presence at traffic junctions during school hours. Environmental discussions focused on the loss of traditional water channels, or nallahs, in the area. Villagers reported that these water bodies are being filled for construction or blocked with debris, causing flooding during monsoons. They called for action to restore these channels. Residents also opposed a proposed mobile tower, citing health and environmental risks. The panchayat assured villagers that their concerns would be addressed.
