The hunger strike by Bilaspur locals over the controversial Badhyat tunnel has stretched into its sixth day without resolution, as tensions simmer between the administration and the affected residents.
Despite a dialogue attempt with the administration, the strikers have seen no progress in their demand for a technical committee to assess the safety of their homes, endangered by the construction of the Indian Railways tunnel.
Protesters have burned an effigy and threatened escalated actions, while the administration's current committee, criticized for lacking technical expertise and local representation, remains a point of contention.
