Chhatarpur Villagers Face Risks Crossing Kumhed River Without Bridge or Culvert
Residents of Harpai village in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, face daily risks crossing the swollen Kumhed River during monsoon due to the absence of a culvert or bridge. Schoolchildren, elderly, and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable as they rely on Maharajpur for essential services. Despite repeated appeals and election promises, no permanent solution has been implemented. Villagers continue to cross the river with assistance, warning that the situation could lead to serious accidents if unaddressed.
