Narrating their plight, a local told ANI, "If we don't use this bridge, we will have to travel a distance of 10 km instead of 1 km." Meanwhile, Kheda collector IK Patel assured that the construction work will be resumed soon.
"The construction work will be resumed immediately. Only due to rain the work of the bridge has not begun," he added.
