Permanent Bridge Ends Monsoon Isolation in Thakur Roshan Singh's Birth Village
Nawada village in Shahjahanpur, birthplace of freedom fighter Thakur Roshan Singh, remained isolated during monsoon seasons for decades due to the lack of a permanent bridge over the Khannaut River. After appeals to the Uttar Pradesh government, a permanent bridge was approved and inaugurated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in 2018, replacing the earlier pontoon crossing. This development ended seasonal isolation, improving access to healthcare, education, and markets, and was seen by villagers as recognition of the martyr's legacy and an end to long-standing neglect.
