Forces Build Ropeway for Villagers in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur

The paramilitary forces in Bijapur, Chhattisgarh, have constructed a ropeway over a river to help villagers cross safely. This initiative, led by the CRPF and ITBP, aims to reduce the risks faced by the residents in this insurgency-hit area.

Challenges Faced by Villagers

Before the ropeway, villagers had to use small boats to cross the river, which was dangerous, especially during the monsoon season. Many accidents occurred due to the lack of a proper bridge.

Government’s Role

After the BJP returned to power in Chhattisgarh, the state government has been actively working to improve the situation. A bridge on the Chintavagu River is also under construction and is expected to be completed soon. This bridge will significantly aid in anti-naxal operations and improve connectivity for the villagers.

Impact of the Ropeway and Bridge

The ropeway has already made a positive impact by providing a safer way for villagers to cross the river. Once the bridge is completed, it will further enhance connectivity, allowing easier access to education, healthcare, and other essential services. The bridge will also help security personnel in their operations against naxalism.

Security Challenges

During the construction of the bridge, naxals posed serious threats, including attacking security camps. Despite these challenges, the construction is progressing well and is expected to be completed by the end of July this year.

Overall, these developments are expected to bring significant improvements to the lives of the villagers in Bijapur and surrounding areas.
