Now consider that these trees are shifted to the middle of the road and turn into a real-life biking game where either you have to evade hurdles present on the road or lose a lifeline.

Interestingly, this scenario has come true for Bihar’s Jehanabad which is located 50km away from the capital Patna, where a Rs 100 crore road widening project went terribly wrong.

It appears that trees stand tall in the middle of the 7.48 km long road, making the commuters prone to accidents on the Patna-Gaya main road, in Jehanabad.

If you are wondering, regarding these trees, they didn’t grow overnight.

So, What Could Have Happened?

This all started when the district administration undertook a Rs 100 crore road widening project.

For this, they approached the forest department, further seeking a permission to remove trees.

As expected, their demand was rejected, but then the forest department demanded compensation for 14 hectares of forest land in return.

This was not possible as the district administration could not fulfil the request, so  they made a bizarre move by creating a road around the trees, reportedly.

Please note here that the trees are not planted in a straight line as it would be easy for a driver to avoid.

So while driving, the drive has to criss-cross their way through them.

In simple words, this appears to be an Rs 100 crore invitation to death.

This has already caused saveral accidents due to the trees presence in the middle of the road, according to the passerby.

In response to this, people are expecting some robust actions from the district administration.

But contrary to this, they dont seem to be taking any concrete initiative in making it a smooth road by removing the trees.

Or the authorities are waiting to be held responsible if a major accident occurs and someone dies.

Let’s see how it works out and does not cause any major damage to the travellers.
