Children, too, cross the bridge by risking their lives on their way to school. For the past two months, locals have been petitioning the authorities to construct a bridge that will connect Naika and Bherai villages.
Narrating their plight, a local said, "If we don't use this bridge, we will have to travel a distance of 10 km instead of 1 km."
Meanwhile, Kheda collector IK Patel assured that the construction work will be resumed soon.
