Residents of Bearpanga village in Kandhamal district have been struggling for 9 years due to a broken bridge destroyed during Cyclone Titli. Despite the government sanctioning 5 lakh rupees for repairs under the Biju Kandhamal & Gajapati Yojana a year ago, work has not yet started. The villagers, including 40 tribal families, are forced to use a risky makeshift wooden bridge for daily travel, access to healthcare, and schools. Local leaders have raised the issue in district meetings, but construction remains uncertain as the monsoon season approaches. https://sambad.in/district/kandhmal/kandhamal-bearpanga-village-broken-bridge-9-years-transport-crisis-11859768 #creator program
