Locals of Bhajani Municipality of Kailali district have started crossing bridgeless Kandra River at risk despite floods. According to the locals, crossing the river without a bridge during monsoon has always been an ordeal for them. Every year, flood hits the Kandra River during monsoon but locals are bound to cross it by risking their life as it is the only option of continuing their livelihood. It has been 11 years since the construction of a bridge over the river started but it has not been completed yet. Locals stressed that they struggled to cross the river in other seasons as well but it turned far dangerous during the monsoon.
