Prohibition on passenger buses, other vehicles unworthy. Question for boom in the construction of new bridge. Sidhi: The bridge of the old Jogdaha ghat on the Son -River in the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh can be fatal to the passengers. Since the year 2022, the movement of passenger buses has been banned at these bridge of security reasons, because there have been dangerous cracks in many places in the bridge. The shocking thing is that, despite the clear order of the district administration due to political and administrative pressure, all the taxis, cars and other small vehicles, except passenger buses, are still going through this dilapidated bridge, which is prone to any major accident. The movement of all types of vehicles is located approximately 40 km from the headquarters of the Sidhi district, and is banned on this bridge. Later, however, only passenger buses were stopped by keeping the rules under control, while other small vehicles that loaded more passengers and goods are indiscriminately crossing the bridge. Even today, the Board of Prohibition on the District Collector is at the entrance to the bridge, but no effect is visible on the small drivers. Travelers from Singrauli, Sidhi, Mauganj and Uttar Pradesh must carry most of this negligence. Passenger buses are stopped over the bridge, and they must take an alternative route of 50 to 60 km. At the same time, passengers who need to go immediately to the other side are forced to cross the dilapidated bridge by jeopardizing their lives by paying double rates in car and taxis. Passengers who go from Singrauli to Hanuman in Uttar Pradesh expressed their pain, saying that buses are near the bridge, allowing them to cross the bridge with a car and then catch the vehicle on the other side. A female passenger has requested the government through the media to speed up the construction of the new bridge on the Son River so that their problems can be overcome. Other passengers also say that they face such inconvenience in this era of development, while the alternative route had to be prepared in advance. The construction of the new bridge on the Son -River goes very slowly. Despite completing about 60 percent of the work, it will probably take a long time to start. In such a situation, locals and passengers of the district administration and the government demanded that the construction work of the new bridge should be priority and that it should be completed as soon as possible. This boy river bridge, located on the Bahri Amilia road, has linked the Sidhi district with important places such as Singrauli and surrounding areas, as well as Mauganj and Hanuman in Uttar Pradesh. Thousands of people from the region have great discomfort because the bridge is decaying and the movement of buses, while other vehicles moving through the dilapidated bridge can be a victim of serious accidents at any time. Questions are raised about this negligence of the administration and there is resentment among the people. Location: Sidhi, Sidhi, Madhya Pradesh first published: 27 April 2025, 20:01 IST
