Viral Plea by 6-Year-Old Prompts DM to Order Repair of Waterlogged UP Village Road

The case shows social media’s power to trigger fixes that routine complaints did not.

Overview

  • The video to Lakhimpur Kheri District Magistrate Anjani Kumar Singh showed the child wading through a flooded brick lane in Salempur Kon.
  • In response, the district magistrate visited the village with officials, met the family, and ordered immediate repair of the stretch near the Government Polytechnic School.
  • Residents say the road has remained broken and waterlogged for years, creating daily risks for schoolchildren and making walking difficult.
  • The lane connects a community toilet, a local health center, Ambedkar Park, and a water tank, so its poor state disrupts basic errands and school runs.
  • During the visit, the district magistrate warned about irregular plotting and told buyers to check drainage, power, and road access, linking the damage to weak planning.
