Khairewadi Villagers Struggle for Basic Access After 75 Years
In Khairewadi village, people are having a hard time because they don't have good roads.
Kids have to walk through mud and water just to get to school.
Even after many years, the government hasn't built proper roads.
This makes it difficult for people to get to important places like the hospital.
A video showed a sick woman being carried across a river to get help.
The local people are upset because the government promised to build a road but hasn't done it yet.
Tribal residents of Khairewadi in Igatpuri taluka lack basic necessities like roads and medical access.
Students and villagers must navigate mud, streams, and riverbeds daily to reach school and essential services.
A viral video showed a critically ill woman being transported on a makeshift stretcher through the riverbed.
Local activist Sitaram Gawandha criticized the government's lack of attention to the tribal community.
A road project was approved two years prior but never started, leaving the village in dangerous conditions.
