# MP students stop minister’s convoy over poor road, school facilities 2026-08-15T15:51:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A group of schoolchildren in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district stopped the convoy of Minister of State for Forest and Environment Dilip Ahirwar on Friday to demand a paved approach road, reliable electricity and other basic facilities at their school. The incident occurred in the Chandla Assembly constituency as the minister's motorcade passed through Basrahi village. Students from the local government secondary school said they had been struggling for a considerable time because the school's approach road was uneven and unpaved. They also raised concerns over electricity and infrastructure. A video of the protest was widely shared on social media. Ahirwar assured them work would begin soon, saying construction had been delayed because part of the proposed route passed through privately owned land. ## Coverage - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: Chhatarpur, Dilip Ahirwar, Janpad Panchayat, Madhya Pradesh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mp-students-stop-ministers-convoy-over-poor-road-school-facilities/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
