In an unusual scene amid the ongoing protest demanding Bhairab to be declared a new zila (district), several youths were seen playing cricket on a blocked highway, turning the demonstration site into a makeshift playground.
The video, which quickly went viral on social media, shows protesters cheerfully batting and bowling in the middle of the road as traffic remained at a standstill. Locals say the spontaneous game began as a way to “pass time” while continuing their blockade in support of the “Make Bhairab a Zila” movement.
While many online found the moment humorous, others criticized it as irresponsible and disruptive, arguing that such actions trivialize the protest and inconvenience commuters. The demonstrations have entered a new phase of public attention mixing serious demands with moments of unexpected levity.
