MP Bridge Built at ₹8.86 Crore Lacks Road, Left Unused for 3 Years, 50 Villages Cut Off

A 308-metre bridge constructed at a cost of 8 crore 86 lakh rupees over the Dudhi River in Madhya Pradesh's Narmadapuram district has remained disused for three years due to the absence of an approach road. The structure was planned to link between 40 and 50 villages across Narmadapuram and Narsinghpur districts. Instead, commuters, farmers, and patients are forced to travel through mud, waterlogging, and potholes. While local residents expressed frustration over official apathy, the district bridge construction department stated that it completed its assigned contract of the bridge and immediate approach stretches, leaving further road connectivity decisions to the state administration.
