Rs 9 Crore Madhya Pradesh Bridge Remains Unused Due to Missing Approach Roads
A bridge costing approximately Rs 9 crore was completed three years ago over the Dudhi River near Umardha village in Madhya Pradesh's Narmadapuram district. Despite its intended purpose to connect 40 to 50 villages across Narmadapuram and Narsinghpur districts, the absence of nearly one kilometre of approach roads on both sides has left the bridge largely unused. Villagers report difficulties accessing the bridge, especially during monsoon, and say their complaints to authorities have not resulted in progress.
