  "account": "Palghar, Maharashtra: A young student from the region has made a heartfelt plea to the state's chief minister and the country's prime minister, demanding the construction of a bridge over the Vaitarna Creek. The student, Sohil Sunil Chaudhari, shared his concerns in a video titled \"When will a bridge be built over Vaitarna Creek? Students and residents demand action from the administration.\"\n\nSohl highlights the dangerous journey that students and locals have to undertake in order to reach school. \"Honourable Prime Minister of India, Modi Saheb, you say all over the TV that children are the future of India. Then why isn't there a simple road for children of our age to get an education?\" Sohil asks in the video, expressing his fear of using the railway track that they have to cross every day to reach their school. \"We have to walk along that life-threatening railway track and bridge every day. If an express train comes from behind, we tremble with fear,\" he shares.\n\nSohl then appeals directly to Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, saying, \"Fadnavis Saheb, you have brought big roads and bullet trains to the entire country, haven't you? Then why is there only a track of death in our destiny? Give us the road that is our right.\" The video has reignited the long-standing demand for a bridge over the Vaitarna Creek, as the lack of proper connectivity has made daily travel difficult and potentially hazardous for many in the area. The issue is not limited to students, as local residents are also asking the administration to take action and provide a safe and accessible route across the creek.",
