“There are around 15-20 children who have to cross the river to go to school. The river is deep, so we carry them either on our shoulders or in big containers. We request the administration to build a bridge,” a local resident told ANI.

The concerns increase during rainy season when the water level in the river gets flooded or the backwater of Suki River is released. The lack of bridge forces many parents to either risk their lives and carry the students across the river or miss school. Sometimes, the students are forced to miss their school for months at a stretch.
