Now the bridge pipes has becomes too old and the bridge is in a very bad condition. The bridge will collapse at any moment. The Sukad Vantem villagers demand to the Government that to build the new bridge in their ward immediately.
According to Vantem villagers, it is a culvert pipes bridge. It was built in 1990, with the help of round cement pipes, laterite stones and mud. Now this bridge is on verge to collapse. If our ward bridge is washed away due to the heavy rains then we will loose the contact with outside the world. This is only the connecting bridge to our Sukad ward, say Villagers.
The Bhirondem village panchayat is failed to build the new bridge in our Sukad ward Vantem village, despite the several reminders to the panchayat body since past few years, said a villager Vighnesh.
