In Maihar district, villagers of Modinagar and tribal settlements in Sonwari Gram Panchayat still lack basic infrastructure such as bridges and paved roads, forcing them to cross swollen streams during rains. The absence of bridges cuts off their connectivity during the monsoon season.
In Modinagar village of Sonwari Gram Panchayat in Maihar district, residents have to cross a swollen stream during the monsoon because no bridge has been built.
