Udaipur, July 7 (TIWN): A group of residents in Udaipur's Rajdhwarnagar area staged a roadblock on the Udaipur-Kakrabon road, protesting against the installation of smart meters.

The residents are determined to have their voices heard, while the authorities are working to resolve the dispute and restore normalcy in the area.
 
The incident highlights the growing concerns about the installation of smart meters and the need for the authorities to address the grievances of the residents. The situation is being closely watched, and it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to the protesters' demands.
