The MLA inaugurating the road has promised strict action against those responsible for building it at a cost of Rs 1.16 crore.
A BJP MLA in Uttar Pradesh's Bijnor called to inaugurate a 7-km road built at a cost of Rs 1.16 crore found herself in a spot when a coconut-cracking ritual ended up breaking up the road instead.
A furious Suchi Mausam Chaudhary, the MLA from Bijnor Sadar constituency, waited on the spot for three hours for a team of officers to arrive and take samples of the road to investigate.
She promised tough action against those responsible.
"The irrigation department was building a road for Rs 1.16 crore. The road is 7.5 km long. I was asked to inaugurate the road. When I got there and tried to break a coconut, the coconut did not break. But buts of the road came off," she told reporters.
