This is the case with most of our elected representatives who promise the moon and forget all about the after the election is over. We have something similar happening in a village close to Mangalore as well , where during monsoon a river tributary gets flooded and the entire village consisting of around 700 people gets cut off because they have no access other than go through a round about route that takes them into forests and hills. Their plight esp the school going childrens plight is miserable during those months , later after the river water recedes they walk across the river bed .All that is needed is a bridge across and each time they were promised during election time. Now the villagers have boycotted elections and with the help of some donors building a walking bridge across the stream.
