Gaighat, July 31, A decade has passed since the foundation stone was laid for construction of an RCC bridge over the Triyuga river at Siwai Sundarpur of Chaudandi municipality-5.
But the bridge construction has not seen any progress so far and the people are compelled to use boats to cross the swollen river during monsoon, risking their life.
Mahalaxmi Lokapriya JV Construction Company had been awarded the contract for the construction of the bridge.
