Villagers risk lives on makeshift crossing after footbridge collapse

Farmers in remote villages of Bajhang are unable to transport produce to markets, while students face daily risks due to lack of a proper bridge over Seti river for the past three years.

Three years after floods washed away the suspension footbridge linking Kedarsyun and Thalara rural municipalities in remote hill district of Bajhang, the residents have no choice but to cross the Seti River through a rickety wooden bridge.
