Madhyamik Exams Hit: Concrete Bridge Collapses in Sandeshkhali, Isolating Panchayats

• A concrete bridge over the Bidyadhari River in Dhyaknamari, Sandeshkhali Block No. 1, collapsed during Madhyamik exams.
• The collapse, attributed to high tide water pressure and long-standing neglect, has isolated Boyarmari and Hatgachhi Panchayats.
• The 100-foot bridge was a vital link for hundreds of daily commuters, including students, market-goers, and workers.
• Madhyamik examinees face severe difficulties as there is no alternative route to reach their test centers.
• Locals demand immediate alternative arrangements like a temporary bridge or boats to ensure examinees can commute.
