Rain Damages Culvert Built Months Ago; Villagers Question Construction Quality In MP's Satna · freepressjournal.in

A small bridge called a culvert in Rampurwa village was damaged by heavy rain.

The crossing is used by villagers going to a cowshed.

Tractor-trolleys carrying fodder also use it.

Ditches now make it difficult for drivers to pass.

Villagers believe the construction may not have been done properly.

They have asked officials to investigate the materials used.

Repairs have started again, but residents still question the quality of the work.

Officials say the junior engineer received a show-cause notice and will face action if an inquiry finds wrongdoing.
