Villagers build bamboo bridge voluntarily in Baraigram

Baraigram (Natore) Correspondent :
Dwarikushi and Pratappur villages have constructed a bamboo shanko in Baraigram, Natore. They voluntarily constructed a 30 meter long and one and a half meter wide Shanko with bamboo and wood at the place of Rahim Mure of Dwarikushi-Pratappur on the Danga River.
Shanko has been built by voluntarily contrubution with bamboo, wood, money and labor. In addition to Dwarikushi and Pratappur, about 12 thousand people from some villages of Baraigram and Jonail Union have been opened for making this shanko. However, the villagers demanded to build a permanent bridge here.
It is known that inhabitants of some villages including Dwarikushi and Pratappur travel regularly on this route. On this route, students go to various educational institutions including Pratappur Government Primary School, Dwarikushi Government Primary School, Dwarikushi Hafezia Madrasa, Dwarikushi-Pratappur High School. Farmers go to Dwarikushi and Jonail markets to buy and sell various products. But as there is no bridge, they lives in risk to cross the river during monsoon. In this, they suffered extreme suffering in the transportation of agricultural products and other goods.
After contacting various offices including the public representative but nothing worked, finally the people of the village took the initiative to build a bamboo bridge themselves to cross the river.
