Villagers Forced To Cross Culvert Inundated By Kwari River In Morena

Morena (Madhya Pradesh): The residents of Senthri village Panchayat are crossing a culvert inundated by Kwari River, risking their lives. The administration closed the culvert for public use. Yet, the villagers are not following the orders of the officials Collector Ankit Asthana directed the officials to put barricades as well as deploy on the culvert to stop people crossing it.

Despite this, a large number of people cross the culvert daily. The Kwari river is overflowing because of heavy rain that lashed the forested hill-covered Paharganj.

Neither officials of the district administration nor officials of the Panchayat were present to stop the villagers from crossing the culvert.  The administration, however, tried to stop movement of the people on the culvert by putting barriers on it. The villagers continued to cross the culvert without bothering about the barricades. Asthana has appealed to the residents not to cross the culvert.
