Sao also evaluated progress on the high-level bridge under construction in Fundri, Bhairamgarh. Once operational, the bridge will link Bijapur and Narayanpur districts, reducing travel time and facilitating seamless access to government services. “This bridge will connect villages like Bangoli and Belnar, opening pathways for development while strengthening administrative reach in previously inaccessible areas,” Sao remarked. Recognizing the potential security challenges, Sao instructed district authorities to establish security camps post-construction to safeguard infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted development.
