A video featuring an elderly woman’s daring act of crossing a damaged bridge in Jharkhand’s Bokaro district has gone viral. The footage, filmed in Chapi village, showcases the woman carefully navigating the broken iron bridge over a river. Her slow, deliberate movements and focused determination have captured the attention of viewers.
Following the video’s viral spread, the Bokaro district administration has taken action. The District Commissioner has announced that an investigation into the matter will be conducted, with the Peterwar BDO tasked with formulating a resolution. The incident highlights wider infrastructural issues in the area, similar to those in Khunti district, where a bridge collapse has led to considerable disruption. This includes forced extended travel times and difficulties for school children.
