Villagers crossing the river
A bridge is needed in an area connecting the Rajasthan border to the Lukwasa region under the Kolaras Assembly of Shivpuri-district of Madhya Pradesh. The villagers have been constantly demanding this bridge from the administration and administration and responsible representatives. Despite this, this bridge has not been built for 8 years.
This is the reason that the villagers of 15 villages connected to this area are forced to cross their lives by risking their lives, flowing above the danger mark. The video of the forced villager crossing the river with a tractor in deep water is also viral on social media. The Karai river passing through Bale Lukwasa under the Kolaras Assembly of the district often encounters the villagers with the flood situation.
Demand of villagers, but the government is not paying attention
This is the reason that the demand for building a bridge over this river in rural areas has been continuously doing from the administration for the last eight years, but the government has not yet paid attention to this whole matter. This video that risks life highlights the gross negligence of the regime. According to the villagers, people from 15 villages including Basai, Kitchen, Hariyal, Piprauda, Chirauli, Kishanpur living in this area have to come and go daily.
Proposals were sent several times from panchayat level
Proposals were sent several times from the panchayat level for the construction of the bridge on the continuous demand of the villagers, but the departmental officers and the public representatives are not having any hearing. In every rain, there is a crisis of reaching the school hospital and farming in front of the villages. Villagers said that they have no fond of putting their lives at risk, but due to lack of bridge, they have to take this path under compulsion. This is also affecting the education of children, treatment of sick people and farming, but they are not being heard.
Did the Panchayat Secretary say?
In this case, Panchayat Secretary Mahesh Ojha said that making a bridge over the river is not the work of the panchayat. We have sent proposals many times, but nothing has happened so far. At the same time, the villagers have demanded from the administration that the bridge on the Karai river should be constructed at the earliest.
