Culvert Collapse Disrupts Rural Road Near Bhopal
A culvert on a rural road near Bhopal collapsed about three months ago, causing big problems for villagers.
The culvert was only four years old and was built under a government program.
The collapse created a deep hole in the road, making it dangerous for people to travel.
The local leader, Mohan Singh Jat, said the government isn't fixing it properly.
The person in charge of the program said they are working on it and will build a new, permanent structure soon.
Until then, they are putting up temporary barriers to keep people safe.
A culvert on the Bairasia–Itkhedi rural road collapsed three months ago, disrupting travel for villagers.
The culvert was built four years ago under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY).
The collapse created a dangerous crater five feet wide and seven feet deep in the middle of the road.
District panchayat vice-president Mohan Singh Jat criticized the administration for negligence and poor infrastructure.
PMGSY General Manager Sunny Singhania assured that temporary barricading is being restored and permanent repairs are pending approval.
