According to a release signed by the CDTD vice-chairman, S Athui, the bridge over Tupa was built somewhere in October 2008.It said that the actual bridge was supposed to be built in DDR 200 ft span at the cost of Rs 2.62 crores.
The statement said that the people of the area expressed extreme dissatisfaction to the work executing agency while demanding the work agency to complete the work at the earliest time possible in the interest of the people and they also asked when the construction of the minor bridges and culverts be started.
The villagers have also appealed the state government for realignment in the construction of road between Pabram and Taipram.
