Erosion Threatens Vital Health Centre Access
In a place called Baihata Chariali, there's a health center called Karara Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM) that helps over 8,000 people.
But there's a big problem: the path to the health center is getting smaller because of erosion from a nearby water body called Radhakuchi Borpukhuri.
This makes it hard for people to visit the health center, especially on Wednesdays when many women and children come for vaccinations.
The people living there are worried that if the government doesn't build a protective wall soon, the health center might be in big trouble, especially when the rainy season comes.
They want the authorities to fix the path and protect the health center before it's too late.
Erosion of Radhakuchi Borpukhuri's bank is narrowing the only access path to the Karara Ayushman Arogya Mandir (AAM) in Baihata Chariali.
The AAM serves over 8,000 residents and provides essential health services, including routine immunizations on Wednesdays.
The lack of a guard wall has made it difficult for patients to access the health center, especially during busy immunization days.
Residents fear that without prompt intervention, the AAM's existence is at risk, particularly with the upcoming rainy season.
The community urges authorities to prioritize the construction of a guard wall to protect the health center and its access path.
