Gadchiroli Police, Villagers Build 60-Metre Temporary Pipe Bridge To Restore Connectivity To Tribal Village

In the remote tribal village of Binagunda, located in the Naxal-affected Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra, the local police and villagers have joined forces to construct a 60-meter-long temporary pipe bridge. This vital infrastructure development aims to restore essential connectivity to the village, which has been repeatedly isolated during the monsoon season due to severe flooding from local streams and seasonal rivers.

The bridge project, executed through voluntary labor (shramdaan) under the leadership of Binagunda Police Help Center officers and with the support of various police forces and local villagers, represents a significant step forward in community policing and rural infrastructure support. The construction, completed on October 22, 2026, involved the use of a tractor, a JCB machine, and a total of eight large pipes.

This bridge, the second such initiative in the region this season, follows a similar project completed in the remote Nelgunda area on September 13, 2026. The new bridge will significantly improve the lives of the villagers by eliminating the seasonal isolation caused by monsoon flooding, thereby reducing hardships, ensuring timely access to medical care, and enabling children to attend school uninterrupted.
