In a pressing appeal for infrastructural repair, social activist Sanjeev Singh Rathaur on Monday called upon elected representatives from four key districts to prioritize the reconstruction of the dilapidated Sanjay Setu, also known as the Ghaghra bridge. Rathaur emphasized that the bridge serves as a vital connectivity link for the entire Devipatan division.
Long-Standing Neglect of a Critical Artery
Sanjeev Singh Rathaur highlighted that the Sanjay Setu has been in a state of disrepair for a considerable period. Despite its strategic importance for the region, no concrete steps have been initiated for its full-scale reconstruction. The bridge's poor condition has become a persistent issue for commuters and the local economy, with the need for action growing more urgent by the day.
Appeal to Public Representatives of Four Districts
The activist specifically urged the public representatives from the districts of Bahraich, Gonda, Shravasti, and Balrampur to intervene. He appealed for their direct involvement to ensure the speedy construction of the damaged bridge. Rathaur's plea underscores the role of local MLAs and MPs in pushing for developmental projects that directly impact their constituents' daily lives and regional progress.
Sanjay Setu: A Lifeline for Devipatan Division
The Sanjay Setu (Ghaghra bridge) is not just another roadway but a key connectivity link. Its compromised state severely affects transportation, trade, and access to essential services across the Devipatan division. The continued delay in its repair symbolizes a larger gap in addressing critical infrastructure needs in the region, potentially hindering socio-economic development.
The call to action made on Monday places the spotlight squarely on the authorities. It remains to be seen whether this public appeal will translate into the concrete steps that Rathaur and the residents of the four districts have long been awaiting for the bridge's reconstruction.
