Anna...patti residents hold sit‑in demanding road repairs in Salem
Residents in a Salem neighbourhood held a sit‑in over a badly damaged road; municipal officials agreed to take action and the protest ended.
Residents of the mid‑town area in Anna...patti, Salem, staged a sit‑in protest demanding repair of a neglected road that has not been maintained for around two years. They said many families depend on the thoroughfare and its damaged surface and open drains cause frequent accidents.
Officials from the municipality and the police met protesters and held talks. Authorities assured action on repairing the road, following which the demonstrators called off the protest.
