Demanding road repair, CM’s sister-in-law threatens stir

Dumka: Ruling JMM’s Jama MLA and chief minister Hemant Soren’ sister-in-law, Sita Soren, on Sunday demanded immediate repair and renovation of all dilapidated roads in her constituency and threatened to hit the streets, if her demand is not met.
Earlier this week, six people, including two children, were killed in a road mishap on the Dumka-Deoghar road triggering a massive public protest. On Saturday, a person died and another sustained injuries in a separate road accident under Ramgarh police station area.
Tweeting to the CM on Sunday, she wrote, “I will have no option but to take to the roads along with the electorates if attention is not given towards proper maintenance of roads in this area.” She also offered shramdaan (voluntary service) to repair the roads if the need arises as the government has currently put a ban on sanctioning of projects and withdrawal of funds from MLALAD funds.
