Ravi Goyal, Sakti. Can Railways divide a village into two parts? A similar case is being seen in Sakreli village of the district. After the construction of the overbridge at the railway crossing, the Railways has decided to close the gate of the railway line passing through Sakreli village and is preparing to erect a wall there, against which the villagers have come out on the road.

Villagers say that the railway over bridge is very long, due to which now one has to travel 2 to 3 kilometers for every small work. Even if someone dies in the village, one will have to walk a lot to reach the cremation ground in the village itself. The villagers are demanding that the gate should not be closed due to the construction of an under bridge at the Sakreli railway crossing.
