In this powerful ground report by Neeraj Jha, we take you deep into rural Bihar — a place where promises of “vikas” (development) vanish the moment you step off the main road. Here, the most basic necessity — a bridge over the river — doesn’t exist. Every day, hundreds of villagers risk their lives crossing the river using temporary bamboo planks, small boats, or by simply wading through the water. Children, women, and elderly people all face the same danger — just to reach school, the market, or the nearest hospital.
 
Neeraj Jha travels to this forgotten corner of Bihar to show you what life without infrastructure really looks like. For the villagers, the absence of a bridge isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a daily gamble between survival and necessity. During monsoon, the river swells and turns into a death trap, cutting the village off from the rest of the world. Many say they’ve lost lives here, but the government’s response remains limited to hollow assurances and election-time promises.
 
Through candid conversations and on-ground visuals, this report exposes the gap between political slogans and ground reality. While leaders boast of development and connectivity, thousands of people continue to live like this — disconnected, unheard, and unseen.
