From Maoist heartland to bridges of hope: Chhattisgarh’s Abujhmad reconnects with the outside world

In Chhattisgarh's Maoist-affected Abujhmad region, locals and security forces have constructed 53 temporary bridges to maintain connectivity during monsoon season, fostering stronger community bonds and better access to essential services. This initiative marks a significant step towards development and peace in an area that has long been isolated. By overcoming logistical challenges, the project highlights the potential for collaborative efforts to bridge not just physical gaps but also social divides.
