It was a strange sight at the
Palada industrial area near Indore, the commercial hub of Madhya
Pradesh, where industrialists who usually go around on expensive cars
like Audi, and BMWs, were seen riding bullock carts to reach their
factory.
The incident happened on Saturday at Palada, about seven km from Indore city.
The
roads there are in bad shape for many years. They turn muddy even in
slight rain and it becomes extremely difficult to drive through or walk
easily on them.
In protest against the poor condition of the
roads, factory owners and other officials working in Palada Industrial
area left their expensive cars and reached their factory riding on
bullock carts which usually transport goods.
Pictures and videos
of industrialists riding on the bullock carts to the factory have now
gone viral on the social media. In the video, industrialists with laptop
bags hanging from their shoulders and iPhones in hand are seen riding
the bullock cart through the muddy roads.
Of those who chose this
form of transport were Pramod Jain, President of Palda Industrial
Organization, secretary Harish Nagar and Ramesh Patel among others. It
was their way to protest against the poor condition of roads and to draw
the attention of the authorities.
Narendra Saluja, media
coordinator of Congress state President Kamal Nath, has tweeted the
photos to draw the attention of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to
the problem during his proposed visit to the city on Monday.
He
said, "Shivraj ji, kindly pay attention to the condition of the roads of
Palada Industrial Area where industrialists, troubled by mud-pits on
the road, are leaving their cars and going on bullock carts."
