Due to this, the movement of the people including children and the elderly in the area has turned impossible; so the residents demand the construction of the road along with bridge.

Efforts have been made several times before to solve the problem. But nothing worked. Therefore, we seek the cooperation of the authorities concerned for its sustainable solution".
