Tensions flared in Novimoddi as villagers voiced strong opposition to the Xeldem Village Panchayat, accusing it of granting renewal permission to an allegedly illegal structure that has obstructed their road access.
Residents claim that the construction has effectively blocked the only route leading to their homes, leaving several families struggling with daily movement and access to essential services. The issue has sparked widespread anger among locals, who gathered to highlight their concerns.
Villagers clarified that they are not opposed to development or construction activities in the area. However, they stressed that basic infrastructure, particularly a proper access road, must be ensured before any such permissions are approved.
Locals have urged authorities to intervene and review the permission granted, warning that continued neglect of the issue could further escalate tensions in the area.
