What’s inside:
This article discusses a near-accident involving a girl swept away by a river while returning home after coaching classes, highlighting community concerns about local infrastructure.
In West Champaran, a young girl had a scary experience when she was almost swept away by the rising waters of the Sukhwada river. This happened in Pathri village after heavy rains over two days caused the river to flow rapidly. The girl was returning home on her bicycle after attending coaching classes at Bakhri Bazar.
As she tried to cross the river, the strong current caught her off guard, and she lost control. Fortunately, other children who were with her raised the alarm, and local villagers rushed to help. They managed to save the girl, but her bicycle was unfortunately carried away by the water.
Satya Kumari, the girl involved, shared how the rains disrupt daily life and education in the area. After hearing about the incident, many villagers gathered and expressed their frustration over the lack of proper infrastructure, especially blaming the absence of a bridge for such accidents. They are now discussing not voting in the upcoming elections to make their voices heard.
Local resident Sobhan Yadav mentioned that officials often come and listen to their concerns but take no real action. The villagers believe that building a bridge would prevent such incidents and ease travel for many nearby villages. Currently, they have to cover double the distance to reach the nearest head or block.
Villagers from numerous surrounding areas, including Sevarahi stone, Singhai, and Damrapur, are affected by the lack of a proper crossing. They hope that by raising their concerns, they can finally see some progress towards building a bridge and improving safety for everyone.
