Ichamati Bridge in North 24 Parganas Nears Opening, Set to Transform Connectivity

• A new bridge over the Ichamati River in Baduria, North 24 Parganas, is almost complete and awaiting inauguration.
• Construction began in 2012 but faced long delays due to land disputes and various other problems.
• Residents currently risk their lives crossing by boat or take long detours via Basirhat for essential services.
• The bridge will significantly improve communication, save time and money, and boost local trade and commerce.
• Land disputes are now resolved and approach roads built; locals hope for inauguration before assembly elections.
