Politicians of successive governments came and went, but after every leader, irrespective of party, ignored the demands of the villagers in the Sirsa district of Haryana for a bridge over the Ghaggar river, the people of the area decided to crowdsource the funds for the vital link and go ahead and construct it. This bridge will become a vital link for the people of around 30 villages and will help close to 1.25 lakh people have better connectivity to Sirsa town.
