Villagers in Kalangi Tola, Indore, are forced to cross a dangerous river using blankets as a makeshift raft due to the lack of a bridge.
The village of Kalangi Tola in Indore district, Madhya Pradesh, is facing a unique challenge: the absence of a bridge over the Silighi River. This forces villagers to risk their lives crossing the river using makeshift rafts made from blankets. Recently, a pregnant woman was transported across the river in a blanket-covered raft to reach the hospital for childbirth. This situation highlights the urgent need for a bridge to connect the village and ensure the safety of its residents.
