Jyotiraditya Scindia Inaugurates New Bridge in Shivpuri, Enhancing Connectivity for Villagers

Shivpuri, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : On November 12, Central Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia dedicated a newly constructed bridge over the Sindh River in the Kolaras region of Shivpuri district, Madhya Pradesh. Accompanied by fellow representatives, Scindia walked across the bridge to assess its impact on the community. He also engaged in a heartfelt conversation with a farmer working nearby, gaining insights into local agricultural experiences.

Constructed under the Prime Minister‘s Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) at a cost of ₹30.48 crore, the 570-meter bridge, along with its approach roads, spans approximately 1,200 meters. This infrastructure is expected to significantly ease transportation for residents of nearby villages, including Rannoud and the Singharai Mata Temple, who have faced challenges due to the river for years.

Scindia highlighted that the bridge will not only benefit farmers, students, and businesspeople but will also enhance access to health services, educational institutions, markets, and employment opportunities. He emphasized that the bridge represents more than just a physical connection; it opens up new avenues for development and convenience for surrounding villages.

During the inauguration, Scindia also launched and laid the foundation for various road and bridge projects totaling ₹38.92 crore. This includes the inauguration of the Kolaras-Rannoud road, which stretches 7.35 kilometers and was constructed under the PMGSY, along with two other road projects and one bridge.

He noted that these initiatives will strengthen connectivity in rural areas of the Kolaras assembly constituency, integrating villages into the broader development narrative. After the bridge’s inauguration, Scindia continued his engagement with local representatives and farmers, discussing the positive changes the new bridge will bring to the region.
