What happened
A 308-meter bridge was constructed over the Dudhi River near Umardha village in Narmadapuram for a cost of Rs8.86 crore. Although intended to improve transport for residents of nearby villages and connect 40 to 50 villages across Narmadapuram and Narsinghpur districts, the bridge has remained largely unused for three years. This is because approach roads on both sides of the structure have not been built, leaving nearly one kilometer of road incomplete on each side.

Why it matters
The lack of proper road connectivity means commuters are forced to travel through rough dirt tracks passing through agricultural fields to reach the bridge. This situation is exacerbated during the monsoon season, and the failure of the project to deliver intended connectivity raises questions about project planning and execution despite the significant funds spent.
