No bridge since 2007: Gundi villagers pedal 300 km to Hyderabad

Residents of Gundi village in Kumram Bheem Asifabad began a 300-km cycle rally to Hyderabad on October 26.
They demanded completion of a bridge across a stream in Gundi village, sanctioned in 2007 but still unfinished.
During monsoons, villagers become isolated, making travel to schools, workplaces and hospitals difficult.
• The bridge was initially approved for ₹8.5 crore, but funding shortages and repeated delays have stalled construction.
