Locals of southern Rautahat district have been facing difficulties due to lack of a bridge over the Bagmati River.
The locals are compelled to commute through boats due to absence of a bridge. Since the boats are less in number, they always become overloaded, said Sushil Jha, a local.
Construction of a bridge, which was supposed to connect Khaibra village of Ramnagar Municipality and Durga Bhagwati Rural Municipality has not been completed even in five years.
Crossing the river through boat costs Rs. 50 per cycle and Rs. 200 per motorcycle, said the locals.
When the flow of river is high, it is difficult to operate even the boats, they said.
Krishna Prasad Burma, chairman of Ram Nagar Rural Municipality said, “The locals have been at risk, due to absence of bridge.”
Likewise, construction of bridge at Samanpur Ghat, Rautahat has been stopped. The bridge was supposed to connect Barahathawa Municipality to Gadhimai Municipality.
Both the bridges are time and again being destroyed by floods.
