During the third public hearing of National Highway No. 7, the proposed route across a densely populated area raised safety concerns among residents, sparking accusations of government disregard for public opinion. The Highways Bureau faced backlash for favoring an illegal factory's interests over farmers' rights by unauthorized modifications to the approved route, leading to threats of protests by discontented locals concerned about their safety and property. The bureau's lack of communication and misleading statements during the hearing intensified residents' dissatisfaction and strengthened their resolve to challenge the project.
