Dantewada. The villagers decided to build a road by doing shramdaan and cut the mountain and made a road. With this, now Beurnar district of Dantewada district has been added to Bastar. Earlier, to connect the Dantewada to Beurnar unpaved road, the villagers were demanding construction from the public representatives for years. The public representatives were only giving them assurances.
It is a matter of self-confidence and passion of the villagers of Raigondi Panchayat of Lohdiguda block of Bastar district and Neurnar village of Dantewada district. For nearly 70 years, the villagers waited for the road construction work to start from the government level. Neither any politician nor any official paid attention to this. Getting tired, the villagers have started building the road on their own.
There is no five km road from Bhatpal Neurnar to Raigondi
Villager Jagtu Ram Nag, who is leading the Shramdan, said that even after 70 years of independence, we are deprived of important facilities like roads. There is no road for five kilometers from Raigondi in Bastar to Neurnar Bhatpal in Dantewada district. Due to this, the population of about 10 thousand of these two areas has to pass through footpaths and rivers and streams. They had to face severe problems especially during the rainy days.
Road to more than two dozen villages
The villagers of Raigondi, Gobardhan, Mahesh Mandavi, Dhaniram, Bajiram, Pilsai, Mandir Mandavi, Balram, Pilsai, Madaram, Rajuram Mandavi, Barik Ram Mandavi, Arjun, Shyamdev, Bal Ram etc. tell that due to the construction of the road, about two dozen of this area People from more than one village will have access to transportation. Jagtu Ram says that now better health facilities will also be available in the shortest possible time. Earlier, there was a lot of difficulty in the treatment of patients. Due to lack of road, many times the patient used to die before reaching the hospital.
