This is truly Atmanirbhar, not even depending on the Govt!
Actually, they did depend on the Govt but its apathy is what forced them to take action themselves. Residents of Budhaul village in Bihar’s Gaya, after waiting and making pleas for 32 years, finally built a bridge by themselves.
The villagers built a 110 feet long and 12 feet wide bridge now connects two villages, over a river, which connects Budhaul in Wazirganj and Madardih in Atri block. What otherwise, for 28 years has been a 15 kms walk, with this bridge has come down to just 1 km.
The villagers pooled in their own resources and worked on the bridge themselves and complete the bridge.
Shouldn’t the Govt hang its head in shame?
