Villagers of Lakhimpur stage heated protest over false promises of ruling party

Guwahati: Demonstrators complained that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had promised them of constructing a bridge over the stream during a poll campaign for the Majuli LAC bye-election in 2022 if the candidate from the ruling BJP wins. It has already been 3 years since their win but there has been no update or announcement of a bridge being built for them.

The public protests that due to the lack of a bridge, the villagers have been struggling to access healthcare and educational facilities. There is an enormous need for a bridge for the villagers to carry out their day-to-day tasks. The government being insensitive towards this basic need of theirs has prompted men, women, children and the elderly villagers to stage a protest.
