News of people in Bihar looting a bridge, liquor, onions and fish have already made headlines, and now, villagers in the state have dug up and stolen an under-construction road in Audan Bigha village of Jehanabad district. The video of the incident has gone viral on social media with people expressing shock over the same. This video is said to be of the Makhdumpur block of Audan Bigha village where a road was being constructed under Mukhya Mantra Gram Sadak Yojna. However, villagers in the video could be seen digging and taking the concrete of the under-construction road with them.

Men and women carried the material on their heads while children also took away as much as they could. It is being said that RJD MLA Satish Kumar Das started the work three months ago, but it could not be completed because whenever the work began, locals allegedly looted the material. The road has to be built for a stretch of three kilometers.

Users took to X, formerly Twitter, to react to the incident. A user said, "Bihar me sbkuch mumkin hai (everything possible in Bihar)"

"If it is true then the courage of Tejashwi Nitish should be appreciated! The work is being done so easily! That too by making a video! I don't believe looting is happening!" wrote another expressing surprise over the video.

A third user said, "This is Bihar brother, anything is possible". "Don’t know to laugh or cry by reading this", said another, while one wrote, "That's why, Education is important".

"G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)," shared one user.

As the video went viral, Makhdumpur MLA Satish Kumar Das told ABP News that he had met Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and got the road approved in this village under the Mukhya Mantra Gram Sadak Yojna. He said that most of the work was done, and only PCC was to be done near the village, but the villagers forcibly took away the PCC material for personal use. The MLA said that he has instructed police officers to carry out the construction of the road smoothly.

Last year in April, villagers stoke a 60-foot long bridge in Sasaram district in three days. Four to five men persistently worked until dusk cutting the iron and taking the pieces, till the entire bridge was gone. The iron bridge, some 60ft (18m) long and 12ft high, on the Ara canal, was built in 1976 and had not been in use since the early 2000s. The reason was another concrete bridge that was built nearby.
