78 years on, Barkagaon's wait for bridge over Peepal river continues
Hazaribag: In 2023, septuagenarian Itwaria Devi of Chandanpur village started feeling uneasy and soon lost consciousness. The hospital was only 2.5 km away at Barkagaon Chowk, but the swollen rain-fed Peepal river forced her sons to take a detour of 10 km to reach the hospital. By the time they could reach their destination, Itwaria died. Riya Kumari, a Class 9 student at Balika Uchch Vidyalaya, said she despite not willing to miss school, she is forced to do so, especially during the monsoon. Around 10,000 people from 12 villages have been demanding a bridge over the Peepal river since independence, but their prayers have not been answered yet. Several hundred students study in these schools but have to walk 2.5 km everyday, crossing the river on foot. But during monsoon, they can't even do that because of the raging river. Pawan said, "Children take their shoes in their hands, and their uniforms get wet while crossing the river." Varsha Kumari, a Class 8 student at Balika Uchch Vidyalaya, said the farmers, who cross the river with green vegetables with water up to their waist, are the worst. "It's sad, and so many times we think of leaving our studies," she added. Pawan said all these villages are the green bowl of Barkagaon, growing green vegetables year-round. He said during the monsoon, they take the Barkagaon-Tandwa (Chatra) road to reach Barkagaon, a detour of 10 km. Kumar said they have to cross areas of Chatra district also in this 10 km detour. "This is the reason why, many times, ambulances arrive late in the village at the hour of need through this Barkagaon-Tandwa route," he said. Mukhiya of Barkagaon (West), Ranjeet Kumar, admitted that this problem is significant and affects the lives of 10,000 villagers, including women and school and college goers. Kumar said the worst situation villagers face is during medical emergencies. He said that he has sent a proposal for a bridge here to BJP Hazaribag MP, Manish Jaiswal, who assured him of getting it cleared through the DMFT fund. "I am hopeful of getting the proposal for a bridge cleared this time," he said. A grocery shop owner said there are small and big shops in these villages, but no supplier comes here as they have to go to Barkagaon Chowk to take the consignment. "Our life is very challenging due to the lack of a bridge," he added. When TOI contacted Barkagaon block development officer Jitendra Kumar Mandal, he said he would look into this issue to get a bridge constructed there. "I will get a report in this regard," he added.

Karipam Pawan, 23, from Thigacharla village in Nellore district, was arrested at a resort in Malaysia for not having valid documents for work.

Pawan Kalyan orders theatre reforms, seeks regulation of ticket and food prices in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan has directed officials to ensure systematic theatre management and regulate food, beverage, and ticket prices across the state. Pawan on Tuesday said producers must seek ticket price hikes through the Telugu Film Chamber (TFC), not individually, including for his film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which is scheduled for release on June 12. (Also Read | Telugu film industry doesn't have 'minimum respect or gratitude towards Andhra Pradesh govt', says Pawan Kalyan) "The government departments must perform their duties diligently, ensuring fair practices in pricing and operations," Pawan said in a post on X, according to a briefing by Cinematography Minister K Durgesh. He raised concerns over overpriced popcorn, drinks, and bottled water, and instructed officials to monitor pricing and quality standards, initiating inquiries where necessary. He said that the government has taken note of monopolistic practices in multiplexes and single-screen theatres and has ordered a detailed investigation, along with appropriate corrective steps. Families should not avoid theatres due to high refreshment prices, Pawan said, adding that reduced prices could increase audience turnout and enhance tax revenues. The actor-turned-politician insisted on clean drinking water and hygiene in theatres, calling it the basic responsibility of theatre owners, with oversight from local municipal authorities. Regarding theatre shutdowns, he demanded a probe into the alleged involvement of political figures, including those from the Janasena Party, and emphasised that no one should be spared. Pawan also stressed that suggestions for developing the film industry should be gathered from associations and bodies within the Telugu film fraternity for inclusion in the comprehensive film development policy being formulated by the Andhra Pradesh government.
