September 11, 2018 10:12
Risking their lives, students in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh have to cross a rivulet to reach their school as the bridge is under construction for five years now.
Students travel around two kilometres every day to reach school and the absence of a bridge or an alternate way poses a difficulty to students. "We can't reach school during heavy rains. We want the bridge to be constructed soon," said the students.
A number of students have suffered injuries since there is no safe passage available to reach school. The teachers in the school stated that during rains the students are unable to cross the rivulet and sometimes end up getting hurt on the way.
The students' return home is stalled when there is a heavy downpour, said the teachers. Block Education Officer, BS Rajput has claimed that the negligence of the contractor is the reason for the delay in the construction of the bridge. -- ANI
