Work stalled despite ₹49 Lakh approval; waterlogging poses severe accident risks

On Monday, a formal memorandum was submitted to the District Collector of Karauli, demanding the urgent repair of dilapidated city roads and measures to prevent waterlogging before the onset of the monsoon. The memorandum was presented by Rinku Kumar Jatav (Rinku Kheri Haivat), former State Secretary of the Azad Samaj Party and spokesperson for the District Jatav Samaj Sudhar Samiti.

700-Meter Main Stretch in Ruins: Hospitals and Schools Affected

The memorandum highlighted the appalling condition of the main route from the Telephone Exchange Circle to Maniram Park, spanning approximately 700–800 meters.

• Critical Connectivity: This road serves as a primary link to the District Hospital, Government Girls’ School, private educational institutions, the Tehsil office, and the Khatu Shyam Temple.
• Daily Commute: Thousands of students, patients, pregnant women, and devotees use this path daily. With deep potholes every 5–10 meters, the road has become a hazardous trap for commuters.

Leakages and Waterlogging: A Double Threat

According to the complaint, the condition of the road is further aggravated by persistent leakages in underground pipelines managed by the Sewerage and Water Supply (PHED) departments.

• Even minor rainfall leads to severe waterlogging, masking deep potholes and causing school buses, autos, and two-wheelers to crash.
• The stagnant water makes it nearly impossible for emergency patients to reach the hospital safely.

Administrative Delay: Approved Budget, Zero Action

Rinku Jatav pointed out that the Municipal Council has already passed a proposal worth ₹49 Lakh for patchwork and repairs.

• Despite the approval, no physical work has commenced on the ground.
• While engineers claim the tendering process is “underway,” the actual condition of the road remains unchanged as the monsoon deadline looms.
• Notably, this road was originally constructed 8–9 years ago under the Gaurav Path scheme but has seen little maintenance since.

4 Key Demands to the Collector

The memorandum urges the District Collector to initiate action on a “war footing”:

1. Immediate Repairs: Urgent patchwork on the Telephone Exchange to Maniram Park route, including the Mohan Nagar and ROB areas.
2. Fix Leakages: Coordinate between the Sewerage and Water Supply departments to permanently plug pipeline leaks.
3. Drainage Cleaning: Ensure the desilting of drains and culverts to prevent seasonal flooding.
4. Monitoring: Supervise the approved ₹49 Lakh projects to ensure timely and quality completion.

Conclusion

Rinku Kheri Haivat warned that if swift action is not taken before the rains begin, the public will face severe hardships and potential loss of life and property due to road accidents. The citizens of Hindaun City now look to the District Administration for an immediate response to prevent a seasonal crisis.

Details of the Incident

According to the information received, the incident occurred on the afternoon of April 27, 2026, around 3:00 PM. The three minor girls had gone to a shop to purchase snacks. It is alleged that the accused, identified a resident, lured the children with a small sum of money and took them to the first floor of his shop.

The complaint alleges that the accused engaged in obscene acts with the minors and used derogatory caste-based slurs against them. Upon learning of the ordeal on April 29, the families of the victims approached the police to seek justice.

Legal Action and Sections Applied

The police have taken a serious view of the matter and registered a case under the following legal provisions:

• Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): Sections 74 and 75(2).
• POCSO Act: Sections 7 and 8 (Sexual assault).
• SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act: Sections 3(1)(w) and 3(2)(va).

Given the sensitivity of the case involving caste-based discrimination and crimes against children, the investigation has been handed over to RPS Officer Dulichand of the SC/ST Cell.

Demand for Swift Justice

The incident has sparked outrage among local social organizations. Rinku Kumar Jatav, spokesperson for the Jatav Samaj Sudhar Samiti, Karauli, has formally written to the District Superintendent of Police (SP), demanding the immediate arrest of the accused.

In his letter, Jatav highlighted the need for:

1. Recording the victims’ statements before a magistrate promptly.
2. A time-bound investigation and early filing of the charge sheet.
3. Providing mandatory financial assistance and police protection to the victimized families.

“This is a grave matter involving sexual offenses against minors and caste-based atrocities against Dalit children. The police must act with urgency to ensure the safety of the community,” stated Rinku Jatav, while also urging the media and public to maintain the confidentiality of the victims’ identities as required by law.

Police Statement

The Women’s Police Station has confirmed that the investigation is underway. Police teams are currently conducting raids to apprehend the accused, who is reported to be absconding. Officials assured that all necessary legal procedures, including medical examinations and forensic evidence collection, are being followed strictly.
