Purported Video Shows Villagers Looting Under-Construction Road In Bihar; Clip Goes Viral

In an unusual incident in Bihar, a purported video of looting concrete from an under-construction road has gone viral. It occurred in Jehanabad in Bihar.

The footage portrays people seizing materials from the road, designed for pedestrian use. Construction work is visibly underway in the video, and individuals are observed taking construction material, including cement ballast and sand, meant for building a concrete road.

The incident occurred in Audan Bigha village, part of the Makhdoompur block. It was revealed that this road's construction fell under the Mukhyamantri Sadak Gram Yojana.

A three-kilometre road construction project was scheduled, which was inaugurated three months ago by RJD MLA Satish Kumar Das. Despite past efforts, the road's construction couldn't be completed, attributed to material looting incidents, according to reports.

However, Oneindia cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Responding to the video, one user said, "It is the public's money, it is the public, if you use it a little, then what have you looted? If a leader belches lakhs of crores then no one will say anything. It is the responsibility of the contractor to inform the administration if such behavior is happening."

Another user commented, "The government and the public are watching the show 😬Media making news."
