Bridge construction over Bansbittaghat river left incomplete for a decade

In absence of a bridge, villagers in Siraha and Dhanusha rely on boats to cross the river.

The construction of a bridge over Kamala river in Bansbittaghat, Siraha, started a decade ago but is yet to be completed. In the absence of a bridge, around 600 people living in 15 villages in Siraha and Dhanusha have to rely on boats to cross the river even during the rainy season when the water level in the river reaches danger level.
