# BRS cadres protest delayed road work in Asifabad 2026-08-20T16:37:12+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former Sirpur (T) MLA Koneru Konappa and BRS cadres staged a sit-in on the Kagaznagar-Dahegaon road in Kumram Bheem Asifabad district on Thursday, protesting the delay in construction of a double-lane road between Kothmir and Pesarigunta villages in Dahegaon mandal. Konappa said the road was sanctioned in 2023 but work stalled due to the model code of conduct during the Assembly elections. He alleged the government has not shown interest in resuming work and blamed local MLA Dr Harish Babu for failing to address the issue. He warned of a larger agitation if work does not restart within a week. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This protest highlights a pattern of stalled infrastructure projects in Telangana's tribal-dominated Kumram Bheem Asifabad district. The double-lane road, sanctioned two years ago, remains incomplete even after the election code ended. Local residents bear the brunt: the road becomes slushy in rains, disrupting daily travel. The next signal is whether the government responds within the week-long deadline set by the protestors. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Straightforward news report, quotes the protester's allegations without adopting or challenging them.
