Vasai mein bhaari baarish ke baad sadkon ki khasta haalat ko lekar ek sthaniya nivasi ne aisa anokha protest kiya, jisne na sirf local logon ka dhyan khinch liya balki social media par bhi tezi se viral ho gaya. Gadde bharne ke bajaay unmein paudhe lagakar aur “Potholes Need Plants Now” likha hua board lagakar unhone civic authorities ke khilaaf apna virodh darj karaya. Is creative protest ka maksad tha administration ko yeh dikhana ki agar sadkon ke gadde nahi bhare ja sakte, to unmein paudhe hi uga diye jaayein.
Lagataar ho rahi baarish ke baad Vasai ke kai ilaakon mein sadkon par bade-bade gadde ban gaye hain. In gaddhon mein paani bharne ke kaaran unki gehraai ka andaza lagana mushkil ho gaya hai, jiski wajah se rozana bike riders, car drivers aur pedestrians ko pareshani ka saamna karna pad raha hai. Kai jagahon par chhote-mote accidents aur vehicles ke damage hone ki bhi shikayatein saamne aayi hain.
Protest karne wale resident ne kaha ki har saal monsoon ke dauran sadkon ki haalat kharab ho jaati hai aur baar-baar shikayat karne ke baad bhi permanent solution nazar nahi aata. Unka kehna tha ki nagrik tax bharte hain lekin basic infrastructure ki maintenance mein lagataar laparwahi dekhne ko mil rahi hai. Isi narazgi ko dikhane ke liye unhone gaddhon mein paudhe lagakar authorities ka dhyan is samasya ki taraf kheenchne ki koshish ki.
Is anokhe protest ki tasveeren aur videos social media par tezi se viral ho rahi hain. Kai logon ne is initiative ki tarif karte hue ise civic negligence ke khilaaf ek powerful message bataya. Wahin kuch logon ne kaha ki har saal monsoon ke baad Maharashtra ke kai shahron mein sadkon ki yahi haalat ho jaati hai aur temporary repairs ke bajaay long-term planning ki zarurat hai.
Sthaniya logon ka kehna hai ki baarish ke baad road maintenance ka kaam aur tez hona chahiye taaki kisi bade haadse se bacha ja sake. Residents ne civic authorities se appeal ki hai ki Vasai aur aas-paas ke ilaakon ki sadkon ka survey karke khatarnak gaddhon ko turant bhara jaaye aur quality road repair ka kaam kiya jaaye.
Filhaal, “Potholes Need Plants Now” protest Vasai mein civic issues ko lekar logon ke badhte gusse ka prateek ban gaya hai. Yeh anokha andaaz sirf ek protest nahi, balki administration ke liye ek sakht sandesh hai ki agar samay par infrastructure ki dekhbhaal nahi ki gayi, to aam nagrik isi tarah naye aur creative tareekon se apni awaaz uthate rahenge.
