Rewa's 'Roadman' Fills 1000 Potholes After Administration Fails to Act
•Om Shukla, a farmer from Rewa, earned the title 'Roadman' for repairing the dilapidated Bhathwa-Garh link road.
•Despite holding BSc, ITI, and computer diplomas, Om chose farming and took action when the administration neglected the road.
•He spent his own money to buy soil and gravel, filling approximately 1000 potholes on the dangerous road.
•The road's poor condition, especially after rains, posed risks to students, farmers, and drivers, leading to many near-accidents.
•Om has urged Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla to upgrade the road to a 2-lane route, highlighting its connection to Vindhya region's tourist spots like Purva Falls and Bahuti Falls.
