Villagers risk their lives by crossing river on 60-ft-high canal in Odisha's Ganjam
The villagers in Gujarat's Ganjam district are forced to cross river by walking on a 60-feet-high canal with their bikes and cycles.
Several accidents have been taken place here.
More than 200 families including children, old man and patients live in the village.
There is no bridge on the river.
Villagers put their lives at risk to cross the river as the whole village is depended on Bhanjanagar from the doctor's office to the daily routine works.
The distance from this most to Bhanjanagar is near about 20 kilometer.
Due to the lack of bridge, villagers of both side of the river were forced to cross the canal in case of urgent works.
