Not that he necessarily wanted them but recognized that some roads and social services were necessary to survive. But he will unwilling to allow “modern society” to destroy (as it was trying very hard to do) the traditional Torah values that had enabled the Jewish people to maintain its independence and identity — as Hashem’s people — for generations and centuries and not be assimilated into the nations around them. I don’t know if he’d heard of Mark Twain’s famous quote — The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?” — but R’ Amram certainly understood the “secret” that Twain was talking about and was fighting to preserve it. And so are many others today.
As soon as the Chazon Ish heard that R’ Amram was being held in prison (for protesting chilul Shabbos) he insisted on going to visit him immediately to give him support. The charges against him were eventually dropped because the government didn’t want to give him his day in court, where they were very much afraid of what he would say.
