Nadia Bridge in Disrepair: Rs 1.62 Lakh Wooden Bridge Leans, Risky Crossing in Chakdaha
•A wooden bridge at Raninagar Ghat in Chakdaha, Nadia, built for Rs 1.62 lakh in 2022-23, is in a dilapidated and leaning state.
•Locals report the bridge became unusable within 6 months of construction, forcing farmers to cross at great risk to access agricultural lands.
•The leaning bridge is precariously propped up by two bamboo poles, making daily commutes dangerous.
•Despite appeals to "Amader Para Amader Samadhan," "Duare Sarkar" camps, and the Panchayat, no solution has been found, and locals allege administrative indifference.
•Residents fear extreme danger during the upcoming monsoon when the Buriganga river swells, demanding immediate repair of the bridge.
