Ghaggar’s Broken Promise: Haryana Village Cut Off by Stalled Bridge Project
Villagers in Sirsa district, Haryana, are facing immense hardship due to the agonizingly slow progress of a crucial bridge project across the Ghaggar River. Approved in 2021, construction only commenced much later and remains significantly incomplete.
The delay is causing considerable distress. Villagers struggle with daily commutes, facing perilous river crossings, impacting access to essential services like healthcare and education. Reaching markets for trade also becomes a major ordeal.
The bridge is not merely a construction project; it’s a lifeline for the community. Its continued delay raises serious questions about bureaucratic efficiency and the impact on the lives of ordinary citizens.
This stalled project highlights a larger issue of infrastructure development in rural Haryana. The lack of timely completion underscores the urgent need for greater accountability and transparency in public works. The plight of these villagers serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of bureaucratic inertia.
