The locals complained that since last year, they are forced to undergo hardship as the Nanus to Ganjem-Usgao road has become unmotorable for commuters.
According to locals, the road was dug for laying the pipeline to supply water from Ganjem bhandara to Opa Water Treatment Plant at Khandepar.
They said the pipeline work was completed long ago but despite this the road has not been restored to its original condition.
They claimed that during monsoon there have been incidents wherein two-wheelers riders have sustained injuries due to the slippery road conditions. And add to their woes, now the locals complained that they are facing dust pollution.
To attract the attention of concerned authorities, the locals said they have planted tree branches by the roadside.
