Faulty Culvert Demolished in Madhya Pradesh Village Amid Concerns
Imagine a bridge that wasn't built very well.
People in a village complained about it, and an investigation found it was poorly made and some money was missing.
The officials decided to tear down the bridge and rebuild it correctly.
The villagers were happy about this.
But, they also wondered why no one was being punished for the missing money and bad construction.
They're worried that without consequences, the problem might happen again.
A poorly constructed culvert in Baman Dokri village was demolished.
The culvert was sanctioned for ₹10 lakhs but only ₹4 lakhs worth of work was done.
