In Udhampur district of J&K, School students are crossing River Tawi to reach their schools which are located in another village across the river. It is very risky to cross the river in this season still students have to cross it to get the education. Usually, People and students are using the ropes to cross the river to reach another village for studying and other various important purposes. The variation in the water level and flow of Tawi is the main threat as if the sudden increase in flow can be fatal.
This problem occurred when the footbridge at Kugaini near Jakherd washed away in the flood which took places some time days earlier. It is important for not only the students but also essential for local villagers to cross the river to make their living and to meet their daily needs.
After the complain of the students, the government deployed police to help students and local people to cross the river. Students applied to the government to focus on the issue and to built a bridge so that they can reach school safely and on time.
The one more interesting thing is that the previous bridge which washed away in flood was built by the financial contribution of the villagers. The government need to take solid steps to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
