Similarly, a bridge-cum-access road on Sone river on the Kanchandih-Bariuraon road provides an all-weather road to about 12,000 villagers of 10 villages.
An over-bridge near Gaurela on the Bilaspur-Katni rail route provides uninterrupted movement to villagers.
Construction of a bridge provides all-weather movement to people of villages Bansital, Danikundi, Semardari, Magurda, Kargikala and Matiyadand along with Marwahi.
On the other hand, people of 10 villages are getting the facility of all-weather movement through a bridge-cum-access road on Sone river on the Kanchandih-Bariuraon road.
